KevinSmithc6 Posted January 16, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 16, 2015 I am particularly interested in the USS OLYMPIA documents. Could we see some closeups of the station billets and the other OLYMPIA stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssggates Posted January 16, 2015 Share #16 Posted January 16, 2015 Very nice! I always love to see items from the 332nd. Its the WWI equivalent of the 506th for many collectors I think. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_rambow Posted January 16, 2015 Share #17 Posted January 16, 2015 My shipmate Kevin beat me to it! I, too, would love to see more detail of the Olympia Material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpath Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted January 16, 2015 This was a Raleigh Military Show pickup this month and I haven't gone through the entire grouping yet...From the 332nd grouping there is an Italian medal to him with a document signed by Benito Mussolini (stamped signature), an actual battle map used in the war and more photos and war time letters. I'll post some of the USS Olympia paperwork as soon as I can...That diary is mostly Alfs taking notes for study, I believe... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
