US WW2 101st Airborne Division Grouping 'Colonel Curtis D. Renfro' /401st Glider Infantry Regiment

In a very salty condition a stunning and extreme rare airborne grouping of one of the lead officers of the Battle of the Bulge campaign.
The set is on the name of Curtis D. Renfro, commanding officer of the 401th Glider Infantry Regiment/101st Airborne Division.
Curtis was made famous by the Christmas picture in the bastogne barracks and was at that time the 101st Airborne Division Liaison Officer and Special Troops.
He was awarded the silver star medal for consicuous gallantry and intrepidity in connection with military operations against the enemy while serving as a comanding officer during the battle of the bulge.
The set contains his salty M-1942 jumptrousers and his M-1941 combat jacket.
Both pieces are named on the inside to Renfro and came from the family of curtis many years ago.
The jumptrousers comes with a large cut on one of the knees and has clearly traces of wear.
The m41 jacket comes with a cut in the neck from extreme use and has further heavy traces of use.
Still a very stunning grouping of the 401st GIR commander Curtis D. Renfro.
