Somethings never change. Modern Dress Blues still have that striping and the two stars:


His World War Two Victory Ribbon oddly encased in plastic and mounted crooked. We decided it was best to leave it as is.

A Red hashmark for 4 years service






And the old Donald Duck "Flat Cap":








The cap's leather sweatband had shrunk and our model's head was too big for the cap but it gives a better sense of shape:


It was awesome to see my grandpa's old uniforms and saddening to see some of the other undress jumpers torn to ribbons by moths and mice but we salvaged. I'd like to encase his dress blue jumper in a shadowbox at some point. We changed the storage method to a sealed rubbermaid container to keep the mice and moths out.
