Imperial WWI Bringbacks Fresh Out of The Woodwork

**John4022** · 10-23-2022, 05:15 PM

Hi everyone, here's a neat grouping fresh out of the woodwork! All from a WWI US veteran that served with the 64th Infantry Regiment, 7th Inf Div. His son was a WWII veteran so please ignore the WWII helmet in the photo... If anyone would like better photos of anything feel free to ask! My favorite piece has to be the small piece of camo airplane fabric, I'm planning on getting it properly framed to preserve it. There's also a album with letters, postcards and newspapers that I didn't picture. Some of you might have seen this on WAF already. I figured this forum would like to see this as well

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

That is a fantastic grouping.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm sure that the helmet guys are going to want to see some detailed shots
of that great camo lid.

"These pictures came from around (Raimbeaucourt?) France. We tore them from walls, and tramped on em. I pick em up and bring home." -About Nov 12, 1918

Great Hindenburg picture.

"From German Aero Plane. From Jaulny, France." -About Nov 6, 1918

Low quality photo of a wrecked plane in Jaulny from his photo album. Possibly showing the crash site where this fabric was souvenired.

I believe this is fabric from a French plane but I have no evidence to back that up. Could it be from a French roundel?

The barn which at least the helmets were kept for who knows how many years...

That's it for now. If anyone wants to see close ups of anything please don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you Greg and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it!!! I'll work on getting some better shots of the WWI helmet later today. Unfortunately the liner is a disaster and its completely separated from the helmet. I'm keeping it sealed in a zip lock bag since its falling apart. But the helmet itself still has solid colors and that classic barn find patina.
