OHIO "BUCKEYE" DIVISION UNIFORM
Ohio National Guard "Buckeye" Division tunic, with (unmatched) pants and shirt, all in very good to fine condition. The olive wool tunic bears a single overseas stripe and discharge stripe with division patch on left shoulder. It lacks but a single button at the neck, and has only one tiny moth nip in one pocket, but is otherwise near flawless. A pair of medium brown wool pants is also present, likewise flawless but for the loss of two buttons in the fly. Finally, a medium wool four-button work shirt is present, and again flawless but for a 3/4" field repair in the upper-right pocket. The Buckeyes fought with distinction in the Meuse-Argonne offensive and the St. Mihiel salient. This crack unit suffered almost 5,400 casualties while in France. An Ohio Guard unit also formed part of the 42nd "Rainbow" Division.
