Korea 1st Cavalry Group – Uniforms, Paperwork, Photos
This is one of the most extensive paperwork groups I’ve owned. It contains the vet’s actual 201 file plus plenty of other interesting documents. Before I detail the contents of this group, I will say this vet had a colorful military career, having received a Bronze Star Medal while serving on the front lines of Korea and a combat medic. He also had two serious bouts of insubordination resulting Court Marshall trials and disciplinary action. Both episodes involved alcohol and fist fighting! The complete trial records for both offenses are included in his paperwork and make for a highly entertaining read.
The group consists of:
• HBT utility shirt w/ theater-made white name tape, black/gold bevo Army tape, and cut-edge 1st Cavalry shoulder sleeve insignia
• Sateen utility shirt w/ theater-made white name tape and hand embroidered Combat Medic Badge on HBT material, black/gold bevo Army tape, 24th Infantry shoulder sleeve insignia, and 1st Cavalry shoulder sleeve insignia
• Set of Dog Tags w/ original surgical tubing over the chain
• Sterling bracelet engraved with “24th MED BN Soldier of the Week” and “PFC K. DeBerry 3 FEB 50” engraved on the reverse side
• Three-place ribbon bar w/ Good Conduct, Occupation Medal, and Korea Campaign Medal w/ three Bronze Stars
• Individual ribbon bars for Korean Campaign (2), Good Conduct, and Bronze Star
• Lapel pin for Good Conduct Medal
• 3-Ring binder w/ 24 snapshots, 6 ID cards, 55+ pages of documentation including awards, citations (including Bronze Star Medal), certificates, general orders, special orders, etc. All photos are mounted on acid free board. Photos and docs are in archival safe protective sheets.
• Complete 201 file (not sure how he got to keep this)
• File folder containing Court Marshall records, 4 racy Korea short-timer calendars, discharge certificates, and a bunch of other items.
