304th IR 1st Sgt Uniform Grouping

1st Sgt B. H-A-N-L-O-N was born in Pennsylvania in 1912. At the age of 30 he enlisted in the US Army on 29 May 1942. Training with the 76th Division stateside, he became the 1st Sergeant of K-Company, 304th Infantry Regiment. Serving in all three of the 76th’s Campaigns in the ETO, he was transferred to G-Company, 395th Infantry Regiment, 99th Infantry Division. He passed away in 1995 and is buried in Littlestown, PA.

The uniform comes straight from the veteran’s family and includes WWII-Era 304th Regt insignia, an overseas made “black-backed” 76th SSI, and the ultra desirable green combat leader stripes under the 1st Sgt chevrons.
