    A M1917 Helmet and gasmask bag named to a Cpt. F. A. Thiessen.

    Research revealed that this Capt. Thiessen was later the Assistant Adjutant General

    After a half days work, i was able to rub off two layers of red and black paint, to uncover the insignias of the US Constabulary force on this Westinghouse liner. It belonged to a Mr. Whatley, who enlisted in Nov. 1945 and served during the occupation of Germany.
