Hi,

 

i'm very excited about this pair of tags, belonged to a man serving on SS-323 Caiman during WW2.

 

Edmund Victor Ulrich was Quarter Master 3rd class from 44 to 45, he was in commissioning crew and he was on board during all the 4 war patrol in Pacific operation theatre. This submarine performed also 3 dangerous special mission during 4th war patrol, landing and evacuating agents of AIB (Allied Intelligence Bureau) from coast of Java.

 

I found precious information in web site of SS-Caiman, included the funny nick name of this man that was "Little Eva"... do you know some character of that period that has this name?

the seller surprised me sending 2 very nice photos of the submarine, one shoving man working on deck and a the second with the caiman painted on the submarine... really very nice...

 

thanks for watching and comment
