Nice grouping! I was a little surprise to see he was assigned to a 4.2 inch Mortar Platoon! I always thought that the largest mortars used by airborne troops was the 81mm-guess I was wrong!! Anyway very nice!!

A few decent helmet insignias in a picture or two above for the helmet guys.

Hi Rich
Yep looks like a "Sons of Bitche" Century Soldier.

Outstanding find, thanks for sharing it with us
What a terrific find! The pictures are amazing. It was obvious this soldier took pride in his service and kept a lot of items and bringbacks. To your benefit!
Yes, I was thinking as I was going through things how nice it is that he saved so many pictures and documents. I even have his birth certificate, marriage license, receipts for 1940's bicycles, paperwork for jobs prior to the military (Norfolk Shipyard), military training/transportation/assignment paperwork, and he apparently went back to the shipyard after the military.
Also, love letters and not so "love" letters from girlfriends, letters from mom etc. Gives a small glimpse into his life at that time.
Best,
Rob
That is one awesome grouping thanks for posting
