manayunkman Posted March 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2012 Sold this off a year ago but still have the photos. I got it from the vets grandson over 15 years ago. Wounded twice. Once by gas and once by HE shell burst. After the war he joined the Governors Troop Cavalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
