Here is the only WWII Bible I own, plus a few others I've come across. My Uncle carried the WWII Bible as a member of the 70th Div. The Civil War Bible is ID'd with lots of family history. And yes, before anyone jabs me, I know Gideon is spelled wrong, my daughter was trying to help and I didn't catch until after the photo was made. Hey, at least she spelled it wrong the same way twice.

My grandmother still has my grandfather's steel covered new testament's he carried during the war.

I think the idea was to carry it in your left breast pocket to cover your heart and keep a bullet from penetrating.

That is a great idea Jimm! ;D

i'll do that in the next reenacting event but probably i'll leave it to my girlfriend she love those items
