Gary, I really like the scrapbook. I would like to see you do more research on this nurse. You have a wonderful start and I believe nurses do not get the full recognition they deserve. Smitty has a great nurses helmet and a lot of people just go “oh well”. Ask any man or woman that has a Purple Heart on their chest and I believe, no I know that will tell you a nurse was crucial to their recovery.

Gary,

I had to come back and relook at this grouping.. This is an incredible find.. I agree with Marty that this group has some real research potential. You have her name and serial number and that is a great start..

What I really like are some of the personal items in the book.. The typed letter from a German typewriter and addressed from Berchtesgaden and the 101st patch are excellent.. What is the small piece taped on top of the ARIBORNE tab.. It looks like a small sliver of shrapnel??

Well this is certainly a great documented grouping.. I hope that further research can reveal Nurse Hennig's duties...

Wonderful group, really tells an untold story.
This stuff is finally getting the respect it deserves.

Think the "sliver of shrapnel" might just be the pin from the Lieutenants bar poking through from the other side?

It could be.. Wasn't thinking that as a possibility.. Good call...
