My named uniform grouping. US engineer, 1918.

I’d like to share my grouping. Any opinions or additional information would be great. WW1 is not my main hobby, but I can never let groupings go when the price is right.

This grouping is named to Barney L. Hobbs, of Co. B. 5th Engineers, 7th I.D.
He was a combat engineer from Ft. Collins, CO. He survived the war, but I lost track of him after that. Among the items are:

-Puttees
-Leggings
-knit sweater vest
-sweater
-shrapnel from a german shell
-luggage tag, leather
-garrison cap
-full wool uniform. Trousers, Tunic, and overcoat. All with patches.
