          His whole uniform is nice considering he came from Tunisia! Must have been a a late arrival to the theater!
          A number of years ago, there were a whole bunch of these Afrika PW arrival photos online on a website for something like a "Hampton Roads Project". Don't know whatever happend to that site, but it was great for uniforms.

            I believe, this wrapper probably stay within US after the war.
            If it's belongs to any forum member, pls post the pic.

                I have a friend who was a panzer driver captured when the Afrikacorps surrendered, he was sent to the US. His photos of camp life show many men still wearing their badges and medals. He said that was normal, that early on the men were allowed to keep their items but the later POW's didn't arrive with them.

                Really nice photo of what looks to be a pristine wrap.
