BEAST Posted August 13, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2011 Do you have anymore information on the vet? Did you buy this from the family or do you have any idea where the vet was from? Maybe we can help track down his information. Nice looking helmet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6th Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted August 15, 2011 I just find his NARA record (Reserve Corps Records) http://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail....1&rid=95787 I really don't know what ALRS means, Air Landing Reconnaissance Squadron? Alternate Landing Rescue Strip?... I think the cross is painted but has worn away, invisible if the shell is not wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
