    1. Hello Gang,

      While survaying my local antique shop, i noticed a Japanese artillery shell for sale. The shell aws resonably priced and in pretty good shape, so i parted with some hard earned cash and went home a happy shopper. Later that night i decided to give a light cleaning and doing so i unscrewed the fuze. Inside the round was a paper rolled up, after fishing it out i noticed it was torn into four pieces. Here is what the paper says. "Pursuiant to provisions of war Department memo W/370-3-43, 22 July 1943, and of the headquarters, USAF(FE? cant make out) circulation No.21, 5 March 194(cant make date out) the bearer F.S. Szostak Pvt 15018023 of the certificate is entilted to retain in his posession or to mail the following captured enemy equiptment. 2 Jap 25mm Shells disarmed----

      The capture paper was in very bad shape and very hard to read, but i wanted to share this exciting find with all of you :cheers:

    2. Hi gang,

      I recently picked up a Canadian ww2 group to a john williams harold heard R-74590 Royal Canadian Air Force. The group consists of a 1939-1945 star defence medal, voluntary service medal and clasp, war medal, and memorial cross engraved. My question is this it came with a copy of his service record from the Canadian Archives that say he was awarded the france and germany star and not the 1939-45 star, very confussed was this possible or could the papers be wrong?

      Thank you :unsure:
