38th Engineer General Service Rgt Bring-Back box With German Flag & Bayonet

[bryang]

I received this awesome grouping in the mail today from a fellow forum member, and I'm extremely pleased to have it.  This small box was sent home by First Sergeant Frederick F Husch to New York from Europe.  I haven't found out anything of him, nor his wartime and post-wartime service, other than that he passed away in 1984 at age 65.

 

My primary interest were the flag and bayonet - with the capture paperwork.  However, this box contains a treasure trove of personal photographs, several posing with destroyed/captured German aircraft, as well as engineer documents related to German mines.  There is a lot going on with this grouping, however as this is the Spoils of War posting, I'll keep it brief.

Very nice, find especially with the capture papers. He seemed to have a fascination with shot up German planes. I take it the paratrooper knife was nowhere to be found.

Very nice grouping. I was tempted as well when he listed it. Glad that it found a good home. So nice to see it all together and with the capture photos to boot!
