blackhawkdown Posted April 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2020 This gentleman, Luther Powers, according to his nephew, worked in hospitals. Interestingly, look how many Airborne tabs he collected. He stitched them into a long chain. The British knife with the chain is personalized and really cool. He must have had a lot of contact with the paratroopers. He sent the helmet, a Luft Q60 to the nephew during the war and specially picked out a small one for the boy. The Purple Heart is unmarked. I have his uniform in storage and will have to search for it. Unfortunately no photo of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
