Hi guys,
At the weekend I got a nice cartridges belt for the M1 Garand.
It's dated 1943 and has both OD#3 and OD#7 webbing.
Yesterday I looked closer to the belt and in the first pouch I found a piece of paper with writing on it.
Unfortunately I can't read one word on the 2nd side. I see "serlons" but didn't find anything to it!?
Also I am not very sure about the names underneath.
As far as my French goes I can read:
Nous sommes attaqués
envoyer renfort
chef Verniss (?)
We are under attack
send reinforcement
chef / leader Verniss (?)
other side:
Envoyons de
suite 2 (??????)
sur la
gouche
Michy (?) Michel (?)
send immediately
2 (??????)
to the left
Michy (?) Michel (?)
It would be great if someone can help because I think this is very interesting.
Maybe French Resistance?
Here are some pics!
Best regards,
Lukas
