wildcat123 Posted March 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2011 This was my "big" SOS purchase this year, a very nice uniform grouping to a 70th ID, 275th infantry regiment medical administrative officer. Two very nice uniforms with post war German made (?) patches and sewn ribbon bars. Pin back combat medical badges on both uniforms. Also included were a number of maps (one really cool one that had an overlay with tactical markings), booklets, his double buckle boots (44 dated), Bronze Star, and misc insignia. The research was very quick and easy. Found an excellent obituary with a photo of him in uniform. The 70th ID website is awesome and was able to confirm both his Bronze Star and his CMB (awarded in June of 45). All in all, just a nice little grouping. Let me know what you think.

KevinS Posted March 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 19, 2011 Aaaaah :w00t: I have 2 maps from Lt. Brennan and his unit history too! The maps and unit history were sold about a year ago on ebay: The maps are from Hagenau and Lembach. Do you know how he got the BS? If you ever want to sell it, please tell me :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted March 19, 2011 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2011 Very nice group! THe 70th is another one of those unsung divisions that had a excellent combat record, but just not a great PR person! Well done! If I find anything on him from the local papers, I'll send it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat123 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share #16 Posted March 23, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments guys, I really appreciate it :thumbsup: Capt. Brennan obviously cared about how he looked after the surrender, he really put together some nice uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST Posted May 2, 2014 Share #17 Posted May 2, 2014 I thought I would bring this back to the top and add another photo. This is a map carried by LT Brennan which still has the the tactical markings from an attack made in February 1945. Also an excerpt from the 275th Inf Medical Detachment mentioning Brennan's role during the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted November 5, 2018 Share #22 Posted November 5, 2018 This is kind of interesting. This eBay dealer is using Wildcat's photos of Brennan's uniform to sell 70th Division hat pins! https://www.ebay.com/itm/70TH-INFANTRY-DIVISION-HAT-LAPEL-VEST-PIN-UP-US-ARMY-VETERAN-TRAIL-BLAZERS/121964966646?hash=item1c65adb2f6:g:yoAAAOSwubRXGpv6:rk:6:pf:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
