>>109062Nice! I noticed that quiet a few Americans (at least in WW2 interest circles) like these alot. Here families just have them inherited from others.
Any chance one of yours is from the former german city of "Metz" ?
Many units were stationed and trained there before and during World War 1. I'm very interested in the different types that were made between 1873-1918 in Metz
>pic semi-related: 7 US soldiers of the 5th Army south of Metz who died by Artillery fire from the 17. SS-Division "Götz von Berlichingen" in Autumn 1944. All these US soldiers also have been given a proper grave now in the US war cemetary of St. Avold, France
Poor bastards but quick death
