These U.S. Navy shoulder boards, bearing the double gold stripes of a Lieutenant and the star of an unrestricted line officer, belonged to LT Bancroft, who served during the Korean War. Naval officer rank insignia of this style, worn on service dress uniforms, identified an officer's rank and warfare designation at a glance. Preserved as part of a personal military collection, these boards offer a tangible connection to the naval service of the Korean War generation. Project: 218173
