I assumed that the uniform was dark blue or grey - which may be a mistake, and that the single-breasted "standing collar" was edged with white trim. It seems kind of odd that there are no insignia in the collar.<br /><br />I've seen WWI USMC, Army Corp of Engineers, Army Engineering Medical Detachment, and french aviation uniforms which seem similar but "no cigar".<br /><br />The shoulder insignia are very ghosty in the picture - but could be 3 stars or bars or leafs - which may demote an officer of considerable rank (3 stars is a Lt General). The medical corp doctors were all officers... did you find this picture "stuck" to your one-legged Mystery Man "Jack"? ;)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-26936266189067394812010-11-12T09:46:11.221-06:002010-11-12T09:46:11.221-06:00I can't say if the uniform is swedish, but the...I can't say if the uniform is swedish, but the first name Birger is.crexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-47531681473787459482010-11-12T07:00:19.326-06:002010-11-12T07:00:19.326-06:00Woooo hoooooooooooooo!
