Things have been a little slow in the Sacramento area but this weekend things took a turn for the better. I believe the Enfield is an import, maybe Confederate, I don’t know. My favorite is the trench art canteen. -

An unusual World War II bring-back certificate documenting the transfer of a captured Mauser C96 pistol from one officer to another for delivery. Rather than authorizing the pistol to the officer who transported it home, the certificate records one officer receiving the weapon on behalf of another, making it a rarely encountered example of wartime capture documentation. -

Colonel William Wesson Jervey was born on December 22, 1897, in Chicago Illinois, the only son of Major General Henry Jervey and Katharine Irwin Jervey. Following in his father's footsteps, he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating with the Class of 1919, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. During the interwar years, Jervey built a career as a communications officer, rising steadily through the ranks and earning promotion to captain in 1935. When the United States entered World War II, Jervey was serving as a major in the Signal Corps. As the Army rapidly expanded, he received a temporary promotion to colonel in December 1942. During the war, he served in the European Theater of Operations, where he performed senior Signal Corps staff duties supporting Allied operations in Northwest Europe during the 1944–1945 campaign. His contributions to military communications and combined Allied operations earned him the Legion of Merit, and records also indicate he was recommended for a British decoration in recognition of his service alongside Allied forces. Following the war, Colonel Jervey served as Chief of the Army Pictorial Service Division in the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, overseeing Army photography, motion pictures, and visual communications during the postwar transition. His career exemplified the increasingly vital role of military communications in modern warfare, from the early days of radio and wire networks to the sophisticated command-and-control systems that helped secure Allied victory in World War II. William Wesson Jervey died on September 1, 1957, in Washington, D.C., at the age of 59. He was interred in Arlington National Cemetery, adjacent to his parents' gravesites underscoring the family's multi-generational commitment to military service. -
