Airborne-Hunter Posted October 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2017 This came out of an estate sale yesterday. I haven't been able to get the name of the soldier yet, but I know he was in the 7th Army Intelligence Corps. It came with approximately 100 photos, all with writing on the back and many with names that match the helmet. There is one photo, albeit blurry, that even shows the helmet. As the back of this photo describes, one man painted all the names, but they are all his fellow soldiers. Best ABN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne-Hunter Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted October 22, 2017 Lastly, a photo of the man who brought it back. Unfortunately a name is at the moment, illusive. Best ABN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
