We have had to rely on old display cases, etc., for our exhibits, but they a
re against the wall or locked so items can not be accessed.
One thing to be aware of is that the modern mannequins are usually too large
to display the older World War uniforms on. The men that served were young w
ith less broad shoulders and height.
At least that’s what I have encountered. The busts may work better.
