Chip Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Chris,Nice information, as always. My grandfather participated in the offensive and may well have run into the 77.Res.Division as he was in the U.S. 89th division. I have a M15 shoulder strap from the 257.R.I.R.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Chris,Sorry for the late reply. I was in Germany last week and in Washington, D.C. the week before. Now just catching up with the forums. So you want a scan of the shoulder strap on a green background? What kind of green? Feldgrau? Let me know what size you want and I will get it for you.Regarding my grandfather, no medals other than a victory medal and an occupation medal. I have a few stories, but nothing with the detail of your fine articles.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
