Interesting. Grumman made some great planes during WW2

Take a look at this dirtbag . . . http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420AP...ke_Veteran.html

Yikes It's been added to a list of other books I am looking for.

D'oh ! Thanks !!! AND I am glad you mentioned the BLUE because I really thought I was seeing things !!! My eyes are bad enough as it is !

Oooooops !!! Pick, Pick, Pick . . . . In Post 3, 2nd one labeled 'Free Time', lower right. Am afflicted with CRS Apologies

Is it for a specific aircraft type, or general.

It's a wonderful thing you've done !! Since you have the info, look here http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-...ce-records.html

Absolutely Stunning photos ! ! ! I like that in pic 1 you can see where pic 2 was taken from, and visa versa. Things like that fascinate me. Dumb question - In pic 4 (lower right) what are those things that look like large bookends??

That's interesting. So the Green & Blue ribbon is the official? Thanks!

Thanks !! I'll have to find that book !

A seriously strange bar indeed I have found three similiar ribbons (that match the GCM) that are equally as farfetched as the GCM. 1) Canada - Royal Canadian Legion - Ladies Auxillary - Past Officer 2) Jordan - Medal in Memory of War 1939-45 3) Republic of Korea - Order of National Security Merit - 3rd Class (missing the taeguk device) - Cheonsu Honestly I think it might have been made for theatrical or film.

Was on WAF a month ago, sad story but old news. I don't believe he does.

Nice find Your collection is verrrrrry inmpressive !

Interesting Most likely a combination of things like the US Para badges- Time on consecutive jump status . . .12, 24, 36, 48 months Different types of jumps . . . training, night, with combat equipment Number of jumps would be more depending on level of badge Jumpmaster status probably for the higher awards

Presentation is well done ! One cannot help but sorry for the guy, and his girl. Pals Battalions what a disaster. Go to war with your mates, and almost everybody dies ! I can see their logic, but they didn't think it through.

Good question ! Here are Zodiac signs Some are close.

Found it! Canadian Force Mobile Command

Sounds good to me

Here's one from 1915 or 1916 And one from 1934

I received this as an extra goodie with a couple of SSI's today. Having no reliable Canadian Patch idenfication available I am counting on GMIC. I believe it's Army, but my knowledge ends tthere. In advance Thanks !

I think he can kiss these goodbye I doubt very much if he'll serve the full year, four months at most. At least it's a start.

Dang . . . you beat me to it!

Love the Brunswick device You don't see too many on medal bars.

Smashing bar

Difficult at best. I don't any Luftwaffe Officer Lists have surfaced as of this post (if they ever existed at all). If he were a General maybe, but a Captain.
