WWI US ARMY TANKER UNIFORM
The tank was a new technological breakthrough introduced in WWI. The American army had a tank corps during the war.
The uniform featured here is a US WWI tanker uniform. very rare and hard to find. Of heavy wool construction with metal buttons. Four pockets were
secured shut via the use of buttons. The uniform was
the same that was employed by the other branches of the armed forces. The only difference were the patches and insignia.
The tanker patch was made of wool. Round shape. The front aspect of a tank was embroidered in the center with lighter green wool.
The collar insignia was made of metal. Like the patch, it feature the front image of a tank. The background was of checkered pattern. Screw back
type. The back of the collar disk was flat and did not have any markings.
The collar of the uniform stood tall and was secured shut via the use of metal hooks. The disk shown
to the right of the hook secures the collar insignia.
The uniform has a 4th Infantry Division patch. Of typical WWI construction. Heavy wool with a
pattern cut out of a flannel like material. Fairly rough construction technique.
The uniform has a tag in one of the lower pockets. in many cases the tag is missing or not legible because the uniform has been washed too many
times.
