Torso (Front) & Uniform: He is dressed in the US Army Officer’s Class A olive drab tunic. The lapels are sharply printed with gold “U.S.” collar insignia and the crossed rifles of the Infantry branch.

Historical Background First Lieutenant Audie Leon Murphy remains one of the most famous and highly decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. Despite his youthful appearance and small stature—having initially been rejected by the Marines and Paratroopers for being underweight—he proved to be a remarkably lethal and courageous infantryman.
Serving primarily with the 15th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division, Murphy fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and France. He received every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. He is most famous for his actions at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, where a wounded Murphy held off an entire company of German soldiers for an hour using a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a burning tank destroyer, earning him the Medal of Honor. After the war, his immense fame and distinctive look led to a highly successful 21-year career as a Hollywood actor.
