I am particularly interested in the USS OLYMPIA documents. Could we see some closeups of the station billets and the other OLYMPIA stuff?

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!

My shipmate Kevin beat me to it!

 

I, too, would love to see more detail of the Olympia Material.

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...

Would it be possible to see the reverse side of this document along with dimensions? I would like to rcereate these for the living history crew on OLYMPIA.

 

Thanks,
