US Army Vietnam Jungle M 64 Uniform Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore Costume

Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore's uniform set as worn in the movie Apocalypse Now.
In the famous Hollywood hit flick, Robert Duvall played the legendary character Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore as the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Airborne Brigade. The helicopter attack on the beach accompanied by Wagner's Ride of the Wallküren is probably unforgettably unique in film history. The helicopters, the music of the Doors, and the surfing helped the film to its success.

Lomax Militaria has taken the trouble to reproduce exactly this uniform set. We were supported by our supplier from Thailand who flew to Vietnam to have the badges made "in country". Each badge is handmade and machine embroidered. As a base for the embroideries an original US Army tent tarpaulin from the time was used.

Based on the movie Apocalypse Now, the set consists of the following individual badges:
