Normally, I do not collect uniforms. However, when I saw this grouping, I had to jump on it! Includes the uniform, insignia, ribbon bar, dog tags, canteen, blanket, photos, negatives, and misc. documents. I then found out that there was another lot of letters and more photos and documents. As if this was not enough, I got the vet's American Legion cap and another ribbon bar. The other items shown with the cap are from another family member in WWI. Total investment, right at $200.

 

Any of you Marine-types have additional on Johnson?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note the photo showing the two men with the Japanese flag!

Nice lot to a vet who obviously participated in a number of campaigns !! I'd have jumped on that one too !!
