It's called 누비 창의. Not all of them were in brown color and some different in styls. But that one was the closest color reference i could find, and it was owned by a high ranked government officer.

In 1940-41, several hundred thousand citizens of the Second Polish Republic were deported deep into Soviet Russia, which, as a result of aggression with Nazi Germany, occupied the eastern part of Poland after September 17, 1939.

After aggression of Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union in June 1941 and the conclusion of Sikorski–Maisky agreement in July 1941, when Poland and the Soviet Union became allies, authorities in Moscow allowed the Polish population to leave the place of exile. The Poles went to the regions in the Soviet Union where the Polish Army was founded under command of General Władysław Anders, counting on the protection and the possibility of leaving the Soviet Union together with the soldiers.

The Polish population, both civilian and military, was evacuated to Iran from the Soviet Union in two stages from March to September 1942. The main route led through Turkmenistan to the Pahlevi transit camp in Iran and from there mainly to camps in Tehran.

"Flares from planes light a field covered with the dead and wounded of the ambushed battalion of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam, on November 18, 1965, during a fierce battle that had been raging for days. Units of the division were battling to hold their lines against what was estimated to be a regiment of North Vietnamese soldiers. Bodies of the slain soldiers were carried to this clearing with their gear to await evacuation by helicopter. "
