EKI & II to Paratrooper Musician

[Eric Queen]

From the strange but true file........

[Eric Queen]

Have his soldbuch as well which has a shrapnel hole through it...

[Steve T]

He must have taken out a tank with his bow

[John Hodgin]

Very, very nice! Have never seen anything like this before. How rare are documents like these Eric? Extremely rare I'd guess.

Best,
John

Hi John,

Yeah, these are probably somewhat rare from an availability perspective, but honestly I doubt they would be very desireable to most people. I just thought they were interesting because they were different, and the soldbuch with the hole through it makes it more interesting ( to me ) as well.

Hello,

You where a fallschirmjäger first and only a musician second. So being awarded was also normal.
In my collection I had once a photoalbum of a musician in an infanterie regiment during the may 40 campagne, while the fighting was going on he was also involved in the action and was also awarded after is actions.

Cheers,
Peter
