This custom ordered coat was made by Goodall Worsted Co. The design is a registered patented design know as Palm Beach. The weave of wool material is very light, and would not have stood up well to the harsh environment of the trenches.

The unusually high standing collar on this coat would have been specially ordered by the officer. The 162 Infantry Officer's insignia is clearly shown in this photo.

This beautifully tailored coat features the Officer's Captains Bars which are fancy ribbed design. The Shoulder sleeve insignia is bullion embroidered with fine quality felt backing.

The Private First Class Mechanics Chevron

The Wool M1918 Tunic, known as the "Pershing" did not have patch style pockets on the outside of the tunic. The pockets were cotton and sewn on the inside. A cut under the pocket flap allowed access.

War Department General Orders No. 6, dated January 12, 1918 authorized the officers and enlisted men of America’s Army, Navy and Marine Corps to wear a War Service Chevron or what collectors today call an “Overseas Stripe”. The ‘V’ shaped chevron was initially issued in one color … gold. Its purpose was to signify that the wearer had served in the “Zone of Advance”, overseas in France during the Great War. One gold War Service Chevron was awarded for each six month period that a soldier, sailor or Marine served in the Zone of Advance.

Liberty Loan Patch as seen on this tunic is and entirely machine made patch using a technology developed a the turn of the century. First a strip of base material is fed into a loom then colored thread worked into it completing the design. Usually constructed of thin cotton, silk or artificial silk; these are very thin patches. They are called Liberty Loan patches because they were made available as part of a final war loan promotion. Liberty Loan patches were made available for sale at stateside PX's and overseas embarkation points at the end of the war. Virtually all A.E.F. units had a variation of this style patch, many are extremely rare.
