Morlok Posted January 21, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2013 I drove out to another estate auction last week & picked up a few neat items. Two yard long photos of Company F 2nd Battalion, Women's Army Corps Training Center, Camp Lee Virginia. I thought these were really neat, as they are all wearing M1s, and they are signed on the back by most of the women. Next is a Air/Sea Rescue Chart for Okinawa, marked Confidential May 1945. Also grabbed a bunch of photos from Okinawa. Included in the photos are 2 Christmas cards from Okinawa 1945 & a personal photo of what looks like a Japanese Soldier. It has Japanese writing in pencil on the back, and what appears to be blood stains. Not what I usually collect, but I thought these were worth picking up!!

Mr.Jerry Posted January 22, 2013 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2013 Great WAC pic! I collect womans stuff, and I have alot of small group shots of 10-20 of them, but I have not seen such a large contingent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Finn Posted January 23, 2013 Share #8 Posted January 23, 2013 Nice group of hard-to-find stuff! Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlok Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted January 23, 2013 The notes on the back are to the same woman, so I assume she is in both photos. There are a few jokes about "taking it easy on the lighter fluid"...wish I knew the story behind them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie96 Posted January 23, 2013 Share #10 Posted January 23, 2013 Nice finds. You use grenades as paperweights? What do you drive to work, a tank? No trouble with traffic I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the closest heavy objects when I snapped the photos!! A tank would be much better than my Jetta...although I have a late model Willys Jeep Wrangler that I drive when I want to stop at every gas station!!!

Okie96 Posted January 24, 2013 Share #12 Posted January 24, 2013 What kind of tank? Perhaps by some slight chance a half track could be mine in the future, or at least I wish. There was one a few months ago on craigslist in Green Bay for $9500, but it was a total project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one a few months ago on craigslist in Green Bay for $9500, but it was a total project. That would require quite a garage!! I have always been a bit of a VW nut. My next purchase will be a military model VW Iltis...They go anywhere & look really strange!! Plus, the use a mix of early jetta & original beetle parts. A very strange vehicle indeed...although not a US item!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
