BigDogMilitaria Posted June 29, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 29, 2015 Well, this grouping took me by surprise.. Needless to say, I was simply astounded when I received it and went thru it. It is obviously heavy on the bringbacks, which was fun for me to go through as I usually stick with U.S. This gentleman had an amazing Military career. He started out in Navigator school for the Air Corps, was pulled for the Invasion of Europe, trained as a medic, landed with the 29th on D-Day, was eventually shot, returned to action with the 78th for the Bulge as a rifleman, and finally ended up as an MP for the Occupation of Germany. There are collar discs for all 4 in the trunk. There is some ephemera, maps and other things I have yet to go through. The last thing the family member told me was, "oh yeh, he wrote a book". I hope you guys enjoy, my only request is you not use his name or make a full reference to the book in question so it can stay off the search engines. Enjoy!
