WW2 Women’s Army Corps (WAC) USAEUR M1943 Jacket Liner – Size 14R

This original WW2 Women’s Army Corps (WAC) M1943 jacket liner was designed for wear under the M1943 field jacket to provide additional warmth during colder conditions. Produced for the United States Army Europe (USAREUR), it features the iconic USAREUR patch on the left shoulder, symbolizing service in the European theater. The WAC was established in 1942 to allow women to serve in non-combat roles, filling vital positions and freeing men for frontline duties. This jacket liner is a testament to the critical contributions made by women in the military during World War II, especially in the demanding conditions of the European front.

Constructed from an olive drab wool blend with a green quilted lining, the liner demonstrates the practical yet durable design of wartime clothing. The original wartime production tag remains intact, displaying government contract details and specifications. Its size is marked as 14R, and the piece retains functional buttons and shows light wear consistent with age and use. The M1943 jacket, and its accompanying liner, became standard issue in 1943 and was utilized throughout the remainder of the war, further solidifying its place in military history.

This jacket liner is a rare piece of WW2 history, highlighting the indispensable role of the Women’s Army Corps and their service in the European theater. It offers collectors and historians a tangible connection to the experiences of those who served with honor and dedication during one of history’s most pivotal conflicts.
