[36th National Guard Private's wool jacket, , World War I]

Photographs of 36th National Guard Private's wool jacket from World War I, held by UNT Special Collections. This jacket was worn by George N.

The silver chevron patch lower on the sleeve represents stateside service of at least six months.

The red chevron near the shoulder represents honorable discharge. Image 2, front of wool jacket with two pockets on the top and bottom of each side and five buttons along the middle.
