Balaclava, Wool, American Red Cross, Greater Cleveland Chapter
€125.00
Tax included
Nice genuine WWII US OD wool balaclava, commonly worn in cold weather. This particular type was produced by American Red Cross volunteers for servicemen deployed overseas, particularly in the ETO during the Battle of the Bulge.
The label sewn inside indicates that the present balaclava was made by the Greater Cleveland Chapter, Ohio. During WWII, the American Red Cross launched nationwide, volunteer-driven knitting campaigns to supply soldiers with warm clothing. These volunteer knitters belonged to a Red Cross unit called the Production Corps. Military knitting patterns were designed to be compatible with soldiers’ and sailors’ uniforms and were required to be knitted in olive drab or navy blue.
Very good overall condition.
