WWII U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division Service Dress Jacket – Corporal

For sale is an authentic WWII U.S. Army Service Dress Jacket, commonly known as an “Ike jacket,” belonging to a Corporal from the 2nd Infantry Division, the “Indianhead Division.” This olive drab wool jacket features the 2nd Infantry Division patch on the right shoulder—a red octagon with a white background and red “2”—marking its storied service in the European Theater. The 2nd Infantry Division fought in major campaigns like the Normandy invasion (Omaha Beach, D-Day +1), the Battle of the Bulge, and the push into Germany, playing a key role in the Allied victory. The sleeves display two chevrons, indicating the rank of Corporal, a junior non-commissioned officer who likely assisted in leading a squad or handled specialized duties within the division.

In good condition for its age, this jacket shows minor wear, including small stains, but has no significant tears or damage. The patches and insignia are original and intact, making this a well-preserved piece of history from a soldier associated with one of the most decorated divisions of WWII. Perfect for collectors of WWII militaria, especially those interested in the European Theater and the legacy of the 2nd Infantry Division, or for display as a testament to the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation.
