Details of US ARMY P1917

The USMC wore the forest green uniform upon their arrival in the France in 1917. They would wear the uniform during the fierce fighting at Belleau Wood in June 1918. By the end of the war most Marines in France would be wearing the Army’s olive drab uniform. They were issued the Army’s uniform to keep supply issues simple, rather than supply the AEF with two different uniforms. Also there was a slight similarity of the USMC’s forest green to the German Army’s “feldgrau” (field grey).
