WWII 31st Dixie Division 155th Regiment uniform

This is a uniform coat, trousers and necktie from a soldier who
fought in WWII with the 155th Infantry of the 31st Infantry Dixie
Division in the Southwest Pacific. His daughter kept his dogtags and
ribbons but did let me photograph one of them (with his photo beside
it). I also found a few bits of info about him online, including from
the great online rosters for the 31st.

Asking $75 plus shipping for this. There are a few very small moth
nips as shown in the photos below.

His laundry number is on the trousers and tie (very blurred): a
previous owner of the coat left his marks in that.
