Where did they keep uniforms and medals??

[Walt's Daughter]

I was sent this question today:

 

I have a question for one of your vets:

Assuming a man is decorated on the front by some visiting general or officer, and has his dress uniform on for the ceremony, but has to go back into action, what did he do with medals, clean uniforms, and personal property when he was in a foxhole or other frontline work?

Thanks.
