conningtower Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share #28 Posted July 12, 2011 Putting a group back together like this one doesnt happen enough! Good job and great group, Kurt Thanks Bobgee and Kurt! I've been lucky a couple of times. A year ago I was able to reunite a U-Boat German Cross in Gold winner's (U-617) documents with his photo album and other misc. documents. It's a shame that these groupings get dismantled... Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh B. Posted July 12, 2011 Share #32 Posted July 12, 2011 Just found this- an outstanding sub group! Great that you were able to put it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY Militaria Posted July 12, 2011 Share #33 Posted July 12, 2011 Great group! I love hearing stories of reuniting parted lots such as this. Not only exciting to have a more complete grouping, but also the thrill of when you spot the name during your treasure hunting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gparlin Posted July 12, 2011 Share #34 Posted July 12, 2011 Great that you were able to reunite this grouping, but I have to ask. Did you just run across this at the show or did you know it was going to be there? And when you picked up the photo album years ago did you know that the group had been split up? I only ask because the odds are so remote to reunite something like this unless you know in advance that there is a chance they might become available at a later time. Thanks, Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsa Posted September 9, 2013 Share #40 Posted September 9, 2013 Realize this is an old post but wanted to say what a great grouping it is. Very rare for a number of reasons. Few bronze stars were awarded to EMs on subs. Few genuine Dodger's certificates have survived (plenty of fake blank ones sold on Ebay as authentic). Hard to find the combat cards along with the pin (the cards are more rare than the pins). Almost never see complete medal groups for EMs on subs, generally see officer's. I have two groupings from Crevalle, one of which shows the same crew shot that you have, and a pic of the battleflag with different guys holding it but taken at the same location as yours. One of my groupings relates to the silver star awarded to EM Yeager for saving the boat and shows him receiving his medal from Merrill Comstock. The other to the Crevalle's visit to Pitcairn Island and commissioning. There is a really good book on Crevalle and its mission to recover Japanese "Z" war plans and rescue some 40 refugees. Aptly titled The Rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenigen is on the left, he is my grandfather. Just now, Submariner Granddaughter said: Albert "Bud" Jenigen is on the bottom left. He is my grandfather and his scrapbook was taken from him by a con-man who said he was a museum curator. My grandfather thought his memories would be put in a WWII history museum, instead, it was sold to strangers. I am heartbroken. Below, is my grandparents' wedding photo. They married just after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted April 24, 2021 Share #46 Posted April 24, 2021 Cool battle flag in the OP, a cat in a Zoot suit, not sure how that relates to a crevalle, aka, yellow mackerel, other than that the cat would probably like to eat it. But great group and photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
