I have a photo of my grandfather wearing his uniform in Europe during WW2 as a dough boy. Damn he was a fine looking young man

@cherokeepatti Yeah, some of the units did wear the old WWI doughboy uniforms and helmets
at the beginning of the war. My dad included. My dad was in a draftee division. He was on the front
lines, but they didn't get the good stuff. No sleeping bags, No winter gear or boots. Probably
why he got trench foot.
