WWII Bible and Service Prayer Book

Recommended Posts

This Bible and Service Prayer Book were carried by my dad during WWII. Also pictured is the leather wallet they were carried in.

 

Inside the wallet says, "Sincere wishes for your success on a history making mission for God and Country and victory with your safe return at an early date. FRIENDSHIP CLUB Trinity E. & R. Church".

 

Does anyone know what "WNF" stands for? Thank you in advance for any help.

The only "WNF" reference I can find in WWII-era church writings is several references to "Wednesday Night Fellowship". However this looks like a recipient's initials, not an organization name. Could it have been re-purposed?

No, it was presented brand new to my dad, Henry (no middle initial) Gettman in 1942.

 

Thank you for your response.

Can't help you on the WNF but, this is a very cool reminder of your dad's service and his spiritual life!
