Glad you liked them and I am happy to share. Items from this campaign are very difficult to obtain and can get pricey. I collected strictly Japanese for about 20 years in the 80s and 90s. In all of that time I owned one item with Attu provenance. The Colonel who had these photos brought home a Japanese gas mask, canteen, and helmet which we have at the museum, along with his trophy paperwork. Sadly the canteen is just the bottle, the gas mask has no bag and the hose is broken though still all there, and the helmet is missing its liner, its the paperwork that really adds the value to those items.

I think these are amazing and a great "snapshot" of history. While most folks don't value them much dollar wise, keep on mind that the Folks who sent these back home, spent a decent amount of their paychecks to do so. AZ, with your permission, I would like to share my grandfather's from WWI. He was a Marine. Thank you for a great remembrance -

One more colored 196th Inf Bde (Sep) this time in June 27 1972, An interesting one, says at Phu Bai Air Base and soldier is going home, which jives as the brigade does leave at this time, there in lies the curiosity, as he totally geared up for the field, steel pot (On backwards) rifle, web gear etc. We all now know that, not like in the movie, you know the one, coming right out of action or a FB and boarding a airliner covered in blood and mud, dried or wet LOL, just turning in the gear and weapons, So could this be a case that the unit is leaving as as unit and turn in gear here, or since it seems they will be flying out USAF to say Hawaii first and turn in stuff there??? -

Bottom right is Leonard Lomel of the 2nd Ranger Bn. He lived about a mile from where I live in NJ (unfortunately never got the chance to meet him.). Every time I get on The Garden State Parkway, I turn on "Lomel Lane. He found and then spiked the 155mm guns behind Pointe du Hoc and pretty much saved troops on Utah Beach from a murderous barrage. -
