    I have a uniform, apparently from the WWI era, that I need help identifying. It is a khaki cotton tunic and trousers with a dark blue shield shaped shoulder patch with a light blue capital letter "E". The buttons do not have the American eagle coat of arms but instead what looks like the letters "BCS" intertwined. I will post pictures as soon as I can. Any ideas as to the origin of this uniform?

    Can we see this uniform?

    There were scholars attached to the US army in WW1 whose job was to teach basic reading/writing skills to troops who were illiterate/quasi-illiterate (about 15% of the inductees). These volunteer Professors wore uniforms and had a patch similar to that ("E" being "Education Section").

    I have no idea what BCS could be though.
