kanemono Posted September 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 18, 2013 Here is a box made from wood taken from the USS Chateau Thierry when she was reconditioned for the navy in 1941. The box was given to The ship's Captain James K. Davis. There is part of a Destroyer trophy awarded to Davis as Captain of the USS Barker, Shanghai China in 1932 attached to the top. Dick.

kanemono Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted September 19, 2013 Robin, I bought many of the pieces at auction then asked the auctioneer to contact the seller and ask if they had anything else. They did and I was able to buy the box and miniatures..http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/99270-rear-admiral-james-kepler-davis-us-navy/?hl=davis link to original post Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
