muddyboots Posted July 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2017 I picked these up 5 or more years ago. They were stored very poorly and started to rust or maybe it's just the type of tag that was used. He was a little hard to research but it looks like he was the only one with that name early in the war but later another shows up but with a smaller rank. It looks like he was attached to Mag 24 late in 42 and was shipped out to New Hebrides and later to Bougainville. I think he may have been transferred back to the States some time in 44 and I have forgotten what his placement was then. I had to remove the rust with electrolysis and I then coated them with a wax polish that is used on metal artifacts to preserve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
