ocpd71 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 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?

peter monahan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hard to say without a photo but could be some government service or even a band or the like. A picture would help a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 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.
