Randomly found a Canadian Highland Service Dress Coat dated 1915. Patches of the CEF 185th Battalion.
No provenance unfortunately
Vietnam War ROK Marine Salvage Flak Vest.
The USMC salvaged nylon armor inserts from M1952a and 3/4 collar vests and contracted Japanese companies to make new covers for them. These were issued to the ROK 2nd Marine Brigade.
The Periodic Operations Report for July 26 states that a company of the Capitol Division was moving south from Andong to Uisong. The photograph caption states that these men are moving south to Uisong. Are they from the Capitol Division? 🤔

🇰🇵 DPRK Civilian Passport Sample (1956)
Original scanned copy of a 1950s Democratic People's Republic of Korea passport. The original owner of the passport was Ri Sunok (리순옥), born in 1889. The purpose of visit was visiting family, with the destination being Beijing, China.
The characteristics of this book is quite interesting as each page consisted of a physical photo of the passport pages glued onto the pages. The characters on cover of the book (reading "Korean Standard Passport) is also standard Chinese rather than Hanja, suggesting that this book was created in the People's Republic of China rather than Korea.
I originally believed this book was some sort of an emergency replacement passport, but I am more leaning towards it being a guidebook for use at the Chinese border to identify characteristics of a North Korean passport.
