Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Thanks for the kind remarks!! I really do appreciate it.I will start posting a selection of items from my great grandfather, who was a member of Army Ambulance Company 125, 107th San(?) Train.He served most of his time in France.
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 This is his Aid bag, complete with name and unit. Does anyone have any information on the unit?
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Shaving kit, engraved. I think that one of the emblems is for the Army Corps of Engineers and am assuming that the other is for the Army Ambulance Corps.
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Some French and German buttons. There is still some thread wrapped around the back of the French button!
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Remove the kit from the cloth cover and it is still MINT! All contents are present too!
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 He had 100s of post cards and photos. I will share some of the more interesting with you. CAUTION... some are graphic.I will start off with some armor.
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Just because it is made of steel does not mean that it is "bullet proof".
Snoopy Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 What a wonderful collection of family items. Something to really treasure.All the bestSnoopy
Paul R Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Final piece for now...It looks like he might have met someone from Australia ?
