Figures 3 through 6: When the McMullen collection was
obtained, the general’s US Army officer
uniform was in very poor condition. Unfortunately, the
uniform and cap had to be discarded.
However, the buttons were saved and the uniform above
has been pieced together from the
buttons of the old uniform and insignia found in the
collection from the estate.
