mvmhm Posted May 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2018 This scrapbook took a round about way to get to us, but eventually got to the museum this afternoon....it was compiled by Sergeant William T. P a r s o n s. I found a roster of the original Rangers who trained in the UK and his name is on it. It came with a couple modern patches: Mark sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmhm Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted May 25, 2018 The album has seen better days but it's still go some great content...the lower right corner has his name and looks like the dates 1942-45 but it's so worn I can't tell...note how he wrote the Ranger's battles all over the cover.
