March 19, 201115 yr #1 This was my "big" SOS purchase this year, a very nice uniform grouping to a 70th ID, 275th infantry regiment medical administrative officer. Two very nice uniforms with post war German made (?) patches and sewn ribbon bars. Pin back combat medical badges on both uniforms. Also included were a number of maps (one really cool one that had an overlay with tactical markings), booklets, his double buckle boots (44 dated), Bronze Star, and misc insignia. The research was very quick and easy. Found an excellent obituary with a photo of him in uniform. The 70th ID website is awesome and was able to confirm both his Bronze Star and his CMB (awarded in June of 45). All in all, just a nice little grouping. Let me know what you think.
March 19, 201115 yr #7 Aaaaah :w00t: I have 2 maps from Lt. Brennan and his unit history too! The maps and unit history were sold about a year ago on ebay: The maps are from Hagenau and Lembach. Do you know how he got the BS? If you ever want to sell it, please tell me :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
March 19, 201115 yr #8 Very nice group! THe 70th is another one of those unsung divisions that had a excellent combat record, but just not a great PR person! Well done! If I find anything on him from the local papers, I'll send it along.
March 19, 201115 yr #9 Wildcat, I also have some personal pictures from the 275th MED BAT. If you are interested in some scans you can send me a PM or I can post them here? :thumbsup: .

March 20, 201115 yr #14 Wildcat.....I woulda grabbed that one if you hadn't beat me to it. Nice set. Keep me in mind down the road.....hope you get the other smalls on this thread to put back with the trunk.
March 23, 201115 yr Author #16 Thanks for the nice comments guys, I really appreciate it :thumbsup: Capt. Brennan obviously cared about how he looked after the surrender, he really put together some nice uniforms.
May 2, 201412 yr #17 I thought I would bring this back to the top and add another photo. This is a map carried by LT Brennan which still has the the tactical markings from an attack made in February 1945. Also an excerpt from the 275th Inf Medical Detachment mentioning Brennan's role during the attack.
May 2, 201412 yr #19 Very nice group. Great extras. Thanks for bumping it as I had missed it the first time. JD
May 2, 201412 yr #21 Always liked this group! Definitely has that wow factor. Is this in your collection now Erik?
November 5, 20187 yr #22 This is kind of interesting. This eBay dealer is using Wildcat's photos of Brennan's uniform to sell 70th Division hat pins! https://www.ebay.com/itm/70TH-INFANTRY-DIVISION-HAT-LAPEL-VEST-PIN-UP-US-ARMY-VETERAN-TRAIL-BLAZERS/121964966646?hash=item1c65adb2f6:g:yoAAAOSwubRXGpv6:rk:6:pf:0
