Those are some great original items you have there and obviously deeply personal to you.

It always sounds a bit lame to my ears but thankyou for showing them here.

I can only echo the previous comments on the items posted by JR.

Quite superb, with a human connection that elevates them from simply being a "collectible" item.

I will go the other way for a minute,
NVA officer

Hi Dave,

is that NVA jacket displaying a field applied camo scheme?

That makes it quite unique if it is!

I have only seen 1 photo of NVA troops using camo garments and that comes from a 1971 dated copy of "life" which shows a KIA in Laos.

Hear! Hear! One can only wonder at the stories that go with all the very personal items shown here on this excellent thread.

Dave thats a great NVA set up you have there

Here are two uniforms from the same SF guy.

First up, short sleeved and subdued

Tom Kyles items are always superb.

There are multiple pieces (all from the same source) in 4 collections to my knowledge.

The subdued set is really nice.

Here is his first model jacket from a set i own from his time at the JFK special warfare centre.

The jacket and the matching trousers have his laundry tags still affixed.


Nice contributions all!

A poignant backdrop to a nice collection of VN items, well done

I love the "Soldier of the month" lighter.
