You may want to try the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee, VA. I know from personal experience that museum curators really enjoy helping out people who share their interests.

On a personal note: My grandfather's uncle was a U.S. Army doctor in Europe during WWI. After my grandmother passed away I learned that his footlocker was part of her estate. No one else expressed an interest in it. I requested it as part of my inheritance and was really excited at the prospect of getting something with so much familial historical significance. Unfortunately, it had not been taken care of in the 75+ years it had been in storage. It had rotted so much that it pretty much disintegrated when I touched it. Nothing was salvageable. It broke my heart.
