Ernst Posted November 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2014 Some time ago I found this bracelet while digging on a ww2 battlefield. A few weeks ago I started doing research but I can,t find anything about this soldier. I found the bracelet near a very small temporary US grave site so I believe this officer was killed in action. I checked NARA and the ABMC website but found nothing. Can you guys help me out? I would really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted November 22, 2014 Share #3 Posted November 22, 2014 We do not allow photos from outside photo hosting sites, you need to upload directly to the forum The program for the forum only allows users to edit the text in their own topics for the first 5-10 minutes or so when posting I've edited the photos into the post for you, please refrain from using photobucket in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonK Posted November 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 24, 2014 Bracelet definitely belonged to the same soldier Beast linked to. Here is his PA burial card. ASN matches the one on the bracelet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted November 25, 2014 Nice! Thanks for the help! This is a big surprise. I found some dogtags in the burnpitt/trashpitt also and they were all from soldiers who died in ww2 so i didn,t expect this. We can only wonder how this bracelet got there. Thanks again!
