Okay, at least I think it's great. Found a 101st Airborne group. Various D-Day maps. Carentan Peninsula. Ste. Mere-Eglise, Cherborg, Utah, Omaha, etc. Various 101st Airborne personal papers including a holiday greeting from General McAuliffe, chevrons, etc. Unfortunately, someone had already picked out the Division patches and who knows what else. They did leave a bunch of neat stuff behind, though. I ended up getting to the table seconds after another guy while he was examining the maps. That guy bought the rest, but he was nice enough to sell me the duplicates including a 1:50,000 map with Carentan and Ste. Mere-Eglise, a set of chevrons, a bronze star ribbon, Jan 21, 1945 Yank with a feature about the Bulge and a June '45 Guide to Berchtesgaden printed by the 101st Airborne Div. Special Service Section.
