Vet Gift

[Larry F.]

Guys:

A gift today from my old basketball coach. He served in the 14th Armored Div, 47 Tank Bat, Co A.

* Adolf Hitler Volume 15

* German Phrase Book Nov. 30 ,1943

* His OS cap

* A beret given to him in France by a local. Mfr. Co. Beret Basque (any info. on this would be interesting)

* He's also giving me 200 ORIGINAL 2" x 3" pictures he took overseas two of which he scanned and gave me today (see below). Many of these were shot right from his tank.


I wanted to post this as I thought it was very nice of him to do this. And, you guys should have heard the story's he told me. Some would scare the hell out of you!!!

Best,

Larry F.

My friend is on the side of the tank with his hand on top of it.
