GoranWC51 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 We have all seen the M41 jacket that appeared in "Saving Private Ryan", "BROOKLYN N.Y. USA" But does anyone have pictures of period use of markings on jackets? I have, somewhere deep in the crevices of my photo collection, a photo of a G.I. lying down on a pile of rubble where there's clearly stuff written on the back. I haven't seen the images for ages, and would like to find out if someone else has one, or more, that they can share? Prefer G.I. M41 jackets, but anything's welcome =) Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Goran The only ones I ever saw with writing on them had large "P W " printed on their back panels and I think a "P" on one sleeve and the "W" on the other. They were issued to POWs intered inside the Continental USA. We had a bunch of them (jackets-not POWs) where I worked back in the 1980s. Couldn't give the things away...
