WW2 American Field Service officer uniform
Just wanted to show another American Field Service uniform in my collection. This one was obtained from Bay State Militaria and belonged to Lieutenant Louis Gerard Paine of ME-26. Lt. Paine later oversaw the operation of the AFS Club in Naples which was utilized as a transit point for those heading to or returning from their units as well as for R & R. Shown here is Lt. Paine’s khaki bush jacket displaying the American Field Service patch and AFS shoulder insignia as well as sterling AFS collar insignia. His British made cap bears a sterling AFS cap badge and his initials LGP.
