Musette Bag from PFC Laurance M. McMichael E Co 501st PIR

[gingerbread]

I just find in a farm, in the area of St Marie du Mont, the following musette bag with the following name and serial number: McMichael 35604897.

 

 

 

 

I succeed to find that he was a E Co 501st PIR member on the 501st roll of honor

( http://www.ww2-airborne.us/units/501/501.html ): KIA in Holland 09/18/1944

 

The National ww2 memorial site confirms the serial number:

 

PFC L. M. McMichael

ID: 35604897

Branch of Service: U.S. Army

Hometown: Columbiana County, OH

Status: KIA

 

It would be marvellous if someone would be able to find a pic from him.

Very nice.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

It's interesting to see that he took the piling swivel from his rifle and kept it in his pack.

I guess he didn't want it to rattle.
