trenchbuff Posted December 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2015 Thought this group had some history worth posting. It belonged to a Master Sergeant who served with HQ, Third Division from their landing in North Africa, up the boot of Italy and from Southern France to Germany.

Rakkasan187 Posted April 19, 2016 Share #24 Posted April 19, 2016 I don't know how I missed this the first time around, but this is a great grouping of artifacts.. The AH cuff title with RZM tag is stunning.. I have never seen the Italian Mothers Medal before, but similar I would imagine to the German Mother's crosses.. The small white cloth item in the bottom right of the first picture with the 3rd ID insignia, is this an ascot or scarf or just a handkerchief??

trenchbuff Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share #25 Posted April 19, 2016 Leigh, It looks more like a man's scarf since it's too wide for an ascot. Glad you like the group. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
