LtRGFRANK Posted August 20, 2012 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2012 Found one at a gun show for $20. Sold it for big bucks. Mine was OD and I think was dated 45. Yours is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Kibler Posted August 23, 2012 Share #9 Posted August 23, 2012 My 82nd AB friend (508er) never had one. Jumped in Holland and continued through til the end.... All he had was his pockets, a .45 and an armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted August 23, 2012 Share #10 Posted August 23, 2012 All he had was his pockets, a .45 and an armband. Armed medic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kibler Posted August 23, 2012 Share #11 Posted August 23, 2012 Armed medic? You bet! He tossed away his M1A1 carbine upon landing in Holland (dirt went up the barrel). But he kept his .45. The CO advised too many medics were targets in Normandy and wanted his medics armed.... That what he told me. Cullings was eventually nominated for the MOH.

Great, surely unusual, story! :thumbsup: rgds Bart P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
