    Default Japanese Souvenirs From KIA American Soldier

    Interesting group of Japanese postcards and other documents sent home in 1944 by Pfc Verlin Drum. Mr. Drum was a member of the 20th Infantry Division, Hq Company, and was killed in action on D-day, during the invasion of Luzon, Philippines. The postcard group includes a soldier sharpening a bayonet, as well as other soldiers in camp and landscape scenes.

    There are also are several booklets with the collection......didn't know if I could get help with translations. One of these appears to have various forms, ect. Thanks.

    I think you mean 20th infantry regiment, no such thing as the 20th division. My uncle was a part of the same unit. Very cool grouping
