These two items are part of a small group to a women who worked "served" in the FBI during WW2. The war service document is interesting as it lists the FBI's work in counter espionage and counter sabotage. Accompanied by a signed photo of J Edgar at the time of her separation from service at the end of the war..

Hello Irish, Congrats on your find !! I APOLOGIZE in advance of it appears as if I'm attempting to 'hijack' your Post / Thread, but honestly, that's not my intention. I just wish to elaborate on our similar document. >>> I too was fortunate enough to pick up one of these 'FBI WW2 Service' documents. IIRC, I bought it from Kurt Stauffer many years ago off eBay. I will admit though, it was a real bigger to research !! Finally, after much research time & effort, I contacted the 'Association of Former / Retired FBI Agents', & they reluctantly gave me my first lead. Then, a few years later the former S.A. passed away, & I finally gleaned a bit of information regarding his career in the Bureau. From what I learned, he served for 1940 - 1953, being based in Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, PA & Boston, MA. As per his Obituary, he was assigned to the team working on the famous Brinks robbery in Boston. Just after the Bri kscase, he left the Bureau to work for Boeing Aircraft Co. in their security division. He was with Boeing for 25 years before retiring, & apparently had an distinguished career there. It's noted that he was the leader of the Boeing security / recovery team that recovered the 1st hijacked aircraft out of Syria. All in all, a very interesting guy. One thing I still haven't determined is approximately how many, & or to whom were the 'WW2 Service Certificates' presented ? If anyone here on the Forum knows ANYTHING about these elusive documents, I'm certain we all would love to hear about it. THANKS

 

Best, dpast32
