Gator Posted January 21 Happy New Year to all, A recent addition in which I am working my through on identifying those who signed this short snorter. So discovered a POW, SS, PH, and BS recipients. Having a real hard time identifying the 1st Lt at the top whose first name appears to begin as Vy*** E. Anderson. I have provided the following scans. The first is a side by side with the later being in an infrared format. The other is solely IR. Would love feedback as IR can sometimes bring signatures out of the shadows. Sorry about the resolution but have to reduce to be able to upload. Thanks in advance, Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gator Posted January 21 Here is the bill in an IR format. Couldn't fit both on one post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gator Posted January 21 Blacksmith, Thanks for the follow up and I didn't even think of the signature being a female. So it could be a "Virginia". Thanks Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
