beerdragon54 Posted July 20, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2019 Here is a couple items I picked up recently for my personal collection. The shell has the owners initials at the bottom which match the cigarette case. Only about a third of all Balloon companies made it overseas and this one did. Only half of them made it to the front and I’m not sure if this one did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznation Posted July 20, 2019 Share #12 Posted July 20, 2019 Additionally on Fold3 there is a History of the 14th Balloon Company but it has quite a few pages. I extracted the info pertaining directly to Randolph S. Martin from the history and have posted it on here already. The history shows much more about the 14th Balloon Company though.

beerdragon54 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted July 20, 2019 Awesome!!! Good to know all that info. My only Balloon stuff in the collection. Didn’t see action at the front but still cool. The family is digging and looking for his uniform, etc that allegedly still exists. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
