My great uncle went to Germany and lost a leg to a landmine. His son has some cool German memorabilia from him.
German Luger and stalhelms
They also have his documents from the US stating he was considered an Enemy Alien after the US entered the war
aha found it
new i had a picture somehwere
Portrait of my grandad done by an officer he bought in
guess as a thank you (?)
war is weird man so idk the exact reasons behind it
Nice man. Keep it forever.
theres a 46 date and signature in the bottom left
yeah I have his medals above my bed at home
thats at my nans house but I think she's left it to me
my great-grandfather
Springfield?
yeah
which is actually unusual for 1918
Nice. I like how minimalistic gear used to be.
no bandage pouch or canteen
I wonder if any of my grandads stuff is still around
my nan kept quite a lot of it
medals, personal files etc
I'll ask her next time im home
Yeah odds are he’d have an M1917
Is he stateside in the photo Fugu?
we only found ou he was soe post death, that stuff is to the grave secret
this picture was taken in the US, I'm surprised he didn't have a Ross or Krag
Or a Nug or any of the other various training and drill rifles
yup, he was only in for 6 months and never left the US
discharged after the armistice
Pfft
Oof
Haha. My grandpa was drafted and served two years, but never went anywhere. Just played baseball the whole time.
Must be a curse because I did 5 years and only got stuck in CA
POG life

No
