For those interested in the American Red Cross's overseas service during World War II, and in particular the Red Cross's clubmobile department, I have created a master list of all the women who served in clubmobiles in the ETO.  It is searchable and access is free of charge.  See "robertgangwere.com".  Thus, if you find a photograph, a uniform, or other item that was supposedly owned by a Red Cross clubmobile girl, you can now easily check to see if that woman actually served in the clubmobile service in the ETO, where she was from, her maiden name and her married name (if known), birth and death years, and service information, etc.  The site also includes a list of known clubmobiles and the types of vehicles used.

Man I’ve always loved those those. A fried Of mine up in SF has a really nice early red letter victory like that. I believe it’s an even lower serial number. He traced it back to being issued to a specific ship (which of course I can’t remember). These are great firearms, how to own one one day…

I think the red letters were to help prevent theft. They made them more obvious as to what branch it belonged to. That’s what i think,  but im not sure. 

ABOUT THE MAP  &  A DRAGOON OFFICER    A dark ragged shape in the lower left corner of the map details the Pedregal, an ancient lava bed that measured three-miles across by five miles in length.  Gaps separated the unstable rocks throughout this difficult space of random fissures.  A challenge in daylight and prohibitive at night, there was little difference between this outcropping of broken scoria and a collapsed staircase.     On August 18, Robert E. Lee was given the task of finding a way through this five-mile hell.  He quickly ran out of possibilities, but he decided to probe the southern edge while moving west. With the aid of Captain Philip Kearney of the 1st Dragoons, he found the rudiments of a lane and recognized it as the potential path.  Lee and Kearney continued, they reached an elevation called Zacatepec and discovered a Mexican position at Padierna (Contreras). The next morning, with the labor of the 11th U.S. Infantry the path was improved.    Jones, L. and L. p 52; R.E. Lee to Mrs. J. E.

Here's the WW2 AAF 877th Bombardment Squadron leather patch I just finished, enjoy :) 

Hey, super nice "Red Letter" Victory! Mine was one of the first U.S. militaries I obtained way back in '80! #V103 thousand range. I wonder how many pieces received the RED LETTERS...and why? Yours looks a wee bit cleaner than mine. Nice find!      

Found in an estate sale, this flag was handed down in the family and belonged to William Barnes Guinn, a private who served in Company D of the 32nd Texas Cavalry Regiment. More than likely a reunion piece that was made after the war, the flag was a first for me and a great find with a name attatched to it.
