A PFC with a Unit Citation, a 417th Infantry Regiment Enlistedman Grouping is Acquired

PFC Robert J Callison served courageously in the HQ-Co, 1st Battalion, 417th Infantry Regiment, 76th Division. For his battalion's role in the Sauer River crossing at Luxembourg, they were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Callison served in all three of the 76th's campaigns across Europe and was discharged as a PFC in 1946. This uniform grouping came with his original ETO crafted dress trousers and his infantry piped overseas (garrison) cap. After hostilities ended, being a low point man he was transferred to the 4th Infantry Division displayed by the beautifully stitched "IVY" Division insignia on the jacket's left shoulder. This uniform is all original and hasn't been altered in 70 years!

417th Infantry Regiment/76th Division Motor Transportation Officer Uniform and Medal Grouping

Lt Arthur J Frey Jr was a member of the Headquarters, 417th Infantry Regiment in the 76th Division. This uniform grouping came to me from an online auction with Frey's original privately engraved Bronze Star Medal. He continued his service after WWII and was discharged from the Army as a Major after the Korean War. This uniform represents his time in the Army immediately following Korea. The directly embroidered ribbon bars are a nice touch. Notice his BOS insignia showing that he went in to the transportation corps after serving in the 76th Division. This was fairly common for Infantry Battalion motor transportation officers to do following their original assignments.
