Roy M Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Greetings all, I recently acquired this box. It has a YD insignia burned into it, a inscription made to a Cpt James a Evarts and other writing. After doing research on the name I came to find out he belonged to the 101st MG unit. What puzzles me is what kind of box this is? And why mark up this box? Any help will shed light into this great item. Link to post Share on other sites
30thguy Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 That is neat.. I once saw a Maxim 08/15 drum box with a 82nd division patch painted on it. It was used by the Company barber to put his tools in. 30thguy Link to post Share on other sites
