I had already posted the wings in the relevant wings section of the forum, but as they are all recent finds, I’ll stick them here too. Super happy to add them to the collection, wings are addictive. 

Ok thanks for the update. Always associate Union Station with DC. Just like there is only one Grand Central. But southern pacific did not have a route into DC.

Its the same helmet marking but they seem to have it mis identified.....   AZNATION........ fortunately this caught his eyes.. Great job Matt!  

A few small items from the past week, pretty happy with being able to pair up some medical DUIs at last and super pleased with another plastic Carlisle tin and the suture that is almost full. Not sure if it’s wartime or pre ww2.    The ring is pretty neat, not sure on how old it is though, but nice to find something a little different    Ignore the tags, I chanced upon an original chain and attached my own…

The ticket shows a departure from a union station, which could have been located in any number of cities; it does not show a destination, as far as I can tell.

Too cool Craig.  I just posted what the wench phones look like.  Take a look.  Aloha, John

I have some photographs of WWI/Interwar Hawaiian Department balloon winch trucks in my Pineapple Army Archive.  They're in storage and I'll post them when I come across them.

And as Chris stated years ago balloon wench trucks were necessary for this branch of service.  Here I have a rare balloon wench phone that was used  to communicate between the ground crew with staff floating above.     Aloha,   John 

Millions were wiped out in WW1. I and my family are here as a result of it. Chances of my Grandfather and Grandmother ever meeting without  World War Ones occurrence, and all that happened afterwards...are slim to none. Without WW1, I would not exist.

Trying to track down Doctor and get more info on him in military archives. Trying to research military service of Captain J.H. Skivery, No. 0388147. Comm Zone, ETO. Thanks Laurence
