Need some chaplain history experts to identify these items and provide me with an era of production/use. Thanks!

Yes, I know they are military as they came from a military chaplain. Just trying to identify use and year of use. Thanks!

Top left cup is from a WWII issued kit.

Top right is not military issue. Looks like a candle stick.

Bottom left plate and bottom right plates are patens from the Vietnam era kit. Markings are United States Army Korea (USAK) Chaplain Supply. Not on P.P (Property Book).

Center plate is a paten for a Roman Catholic kit. Non military issue.

a member of my church who was a ww2 verteran of the eto served as a chaplin assistant donate his entire chaplan silver service set to the ww2 museum down south. this was more than 15 years ago, they thank him and said they never had a complete set until he donated his. the military staff who performed this duty are much over looked in keeping the moral of the men in the darkest moments of the war.

he was a Methodist and the organ player at my church.

thank you Mr. Geist
