    The burning building question

    OK, on another thread Bill M discussed a group that he'd save first if the house were oin fire.

    Show us yours. One pick. One group, one item. (Family members and analagous excluded.) One, one choice only.

    Your clothing is igniting . . .

      Hey,
      I all ready answered the old question when my house burned 17 years ago. I had it planned, I would run in and throw as much as possiable out the windows. You know what? I saved my family and my a**, and WATCHED THE COLLECTION BURN!!! It happened so fast yet it was like slow motion, had to get out or die. I lost everything but my family. I now have my stuff insured on a rider for military collectables. When it happens you save your butt.

        Well, I'd grab this:

        (Providing family, cats/dogs/etc. were OK)
        My Wilhelm group. been awhile since the picture's been about. Not just his medals. But his documents, ribbon bar, funeral sash etc. The group has been togethor since 1917, so who am I to break it up/let it burn.
        PS: (of course by grabbing his folder I'd be inadvertently saving a Silver St. Henry Medal group with documents, bars, etc. since they are in the same file)

          His sash

          This is the only thing I find a bit creepy. His funeral sash from the "brotherhood of SH Knights"

              Interresting thread. I'd save Generalmajor Hermann Bacher's uniform because it is the only piece I have that I can put a name and a history to. I finally got a reply from the Austrian State Archive. All of the records are handwritten and hard to read. It will take me some time to interpret them. By the way, the awards are not original to the tunic.
