Photographs
This group was brought home by a member of the U.S. 100th Division, 398th Infantry Regiment and purchased from the family of the veteran. We were told that the socks and wash cloth we used and worn out over time and the foreign coins divided among the family. The medals and photos were the only things that were offered for sale. These photos are the souvenir type that were sold to tourists prior to and during the war. This is a truly a beautiful looking set of veteran bring-back items that remain in excellent, undamaged condition.
