Vietnam Era Army Lt Colonel Dress Blues

dress_blues_1

Original, Vietnam era Army Dress Blue officer blouse in a tagged size 42 Long with shoulder tabs for a Lieutenant Colonel in the Medical branch.  The visor cap is made by “Top Rank” and is a tagged size “7 1/4″.  Both the cap and blouse were used by a Lt Colonel C.T. Yarington, Jr (MC 04065519).  I Googled this veteran and it appears he was a surgeon who wrote several articles in medical journals.

The blouse is in excellent, used condition.  The visor cap has evidence of light moth tracking in the nap on the top of the cap.  It is very slight, in fact I didn’t notice it until I was outside photographing the items.  Otherwise, the cap is in excellent condition.
