. . Hi Kevin,   Thanks for those three  links all very enjoyable,     Here is a well made Dutch produced documentary,  featuring all original coloured wartime footage showing the construction and demise of the harbour which I have never seen before, and showing the sheer waste of materials, time and effort once Mulberry-A was destroyed by a four day storm, thankfully Mulberry-B at Arromanches survived and was used continuously for ten months.           Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, May 21  2O25.    ….      

Here together are the two known and unauthorized battional "Liberty Loan" type patches made and worn by their troops.    

Thank you very much Gear Fanatic!    Yes, I do agree with you :) I should display it in my collection room, without putting any holes on the canopy. I will post few photos when everything has been done :)     

It's awesome that you're so specialized. Have you written a book?

This is correct. It spun off into its own organization in 1960.

Fantastic post about the 8th photo tech squadron! I'll have a grouping soon from a S/Sgt that was attached to this unit and it comes with several original invasion maps.

I was told the 40 & 8 was responsible for all the shenanigans at their annual conventions.

Great name !

Don't know what you've found on his wife, the Navy Nurse, but her name was Kathleen Rebecca Morrow.  She was his second wife, married in Nov 1952.   She came into the Navy  12/01/1942. Made LT 8/01/1945. This is from 1945        Between 1950 and 1952, she was recruiting officer for Navy Waves and Nurses.

Ebenezer Snapper Ingram served during WW1 as member of Battery B, Second Anti-Aircraft Battalion, attached to the First Army Artillery Headquarters. This was given to him at the American Legion National Convention in 1929 in Louisville, Kentucky. He was the head of the 40&8 as the Chef de Chemin De Fer for 1929-1930.    Incredible quality of 14k with the name bars also being 14k. Three diamonds in the lower part. The nice American Legion medal that I have owned and will be in my upcoming book.
