A booklet that he was issued that reviews the history of the war and etc. Lots of cool information.

Here is the label from his medical response gunbag. These were kept inside of the ambulance.

A Cigarette case.

And finally, some of his bringbacks. He also has a ton of post cards, which outline some of the destruction and etc of the Western Front. Too many to post, unless there is some interest.

[Hugh]

Maybe you could show us a sampling of the more interesting post cards.

A Cigarette case.

Nice momentos to have of a WW1 relative, thanks for sharing them. I am not being critical but I believe this silver colored case is for a razor and not cigarettes?

[Paul R]

I will go through and post some of the better post cards within the next day or so. You know, that could be could be a razor case. I was just speculating on the purpose. It would be cool of the contents were still in there.

[Herman]

Paul, perhaps some nice pictures of both his medals would be fine.

[Paul R]

I wish I had his medals... :-( I am going to purchase some contemporary examples, including the clasps he was entitled to, and frame them up. I think that he was buried with his medals.

[army historian]

Extremely nice group.

[Paul R]

Thank you Sir!! I appreciate it. I am just glad that I wound up with them, versus them being tossed.
