USGI OD DECEASED PERSONELL PERSONAL EFFECTS BAG NEW

This is a genuine U.S. military-issue Deceased Personnel Personal Effects Bag in olive drab — an authentic piece of American military logistics history that appeals strongly to collectors, reenactors, and militaria enthusiasts. Used by U.S. forces to gather and safeguard the personal belongings of fallen service members for return to next of kin, this bag carries genuine historical significance while remaining a functional cotton drawstring stuff sack.

Authentic U.S. Government Issue

Constructed from heavy olive drab cotton fabric in the traditional U.S. military specification, the bag features the distinctive printed identification panel on the face — pre-formatted fields for Serial No., Grade, Organization, Address, Next of Kin, Date, Battle Area, Place of Burial, Place of Cremation, Description of Body, and signature line. This is the same style of bag that has appeared in U.S. service through multiple conflicts, making it instantly recognizable to militaria collectors and living-history reenactors portraying WWII, Korea, or Vietnam-era support and graves-registration personnel.
