Un-fortunately as relating to training material, it is quite common. Almost every officer and some Career NCO's for that matter acquire a plethora of training manuals and books over the course of their career. If it was actually planning and execution material for a major wartime operation, then you would have some demand. If it belonged to a prominent or famous officer, you might again have some demand. Training material typically will have a wide circulation and perhaps thousands of copies made and still be in existence in Army post libraries, archives or forgotten in footlockers across the country. Put it on ebay with no reserve and that would tell you the value. If breaking it up helps selling it than that would be an option. Interest unfortunately is going to be limited. One thing the military and the government for that matter has no shortage of is publications past and present. Three things I wish I had stock in: Government Ink, Government Paper and Forest Service Brown paint. 

A work of art.

Yeah, i dont think washcloths were ever issued so It's probably private purchased but I know green washcloths were carried and used. Just like some guys using private purchased fieldcrest towels or cannon towels.

Just a guess, looks to be a lapel pin or sweetheart ega that has been polished down over the years. Would be interesting to see if ring has Navajo Hallmark.

Another item I recently found in Dad's things. It has some rust and tarnish. I am not sure it has much value in that condition.  

True. 😄
