Since the lakez are flooded

I present my wife's grandfathers WW1 life

Cleaning out family stuff i ran across my wife's Grandfather s WW1 uniform, medals, German belt buckles, shell casings, Queen Victoria lighter. Dog tag.
Amazing stuff.

He was in the 314th , 80th Army
Blue Ridge Company.
All were from Md, Pa, WVa, or Virginia. Blue Ridge mountains on the patch.
They repaired telegraph wires and had very high casualties

Definitely a keepsake. I know he was a proud soldier.

Precious memorabilia. What a great keepsake to pass down.

Really is, my son is happy to have it.
It was 314 artillery. They had a band too

That is some amazing things to find and pass downs to your son and grandchildren. [emoji106]

That is an awesome grouping! I've been collecting WWI and WWII stuff for over 30 years, and it's amazing what families will actually sell/throw away...no appreciation for the sacrifice at all. Treasure those incredible pieces of history!

What a great collection and treasure you have. Cherish it.

The greatest treasure we have is my grandfather. He is 96 and was in WWII and Purple Heart recipient. He has donated a lot of his stuff to the local Veterans Museum. Visited him yesterday on Fathers Day. Love him greatly!!!
