Comments from the Curator:

All US Army General's uniforms are very valuable today, and sell at substantial prices. They command even higher prices if they are attributed (i.e.: named/identified). Prices increase if the General has World War II service, and increase again if it is World War II combat service. Another cost excallator is if the General served in a desirable branch of the service such as in the Tank Corps., Cavalry, Airborne, Rangers, etc. This uniform is namedd inside to Major General "Louis E. Cotulla". It is known that Cotulla served in WWII as an Engineer who held several commands at the New York Port of Embarkation.
