Quartermaster42 Posted November 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2015 I had the honor of being able to purchase this grouping directly from the family a couple months ago. Figured I'd share his history with you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navybean Posted November 5, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 5, 2015 Fantastic group, very moving and impressive Was the Luger sent home as part of his personal effects as well? Congradulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster42 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted November 5, 2015 It was with the items when I bought everything, but there is no capture paperwork, receipt of there ever being one in his personal effects sent home or any mention of a luger/pisol in his letters. But quite honestly, I could care less about the luger, the real treasure is the supporting paperwork I have with the PH and the medal itself.

katieony Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 6, 2015 A rather complete and poignant group. I would imagine reading those letters would really tug at the heart. Thanks for posting and keeping this soldier's memory alive. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
