Some treasures from my grandpa

[Jimmi]

Just thought I might share some things I have from him. I was taking pics of stuff, in case, God forbid of a fire or anything destroying it.. Least I'd still have pictures.

Oh my word! What a treasure you have! Especially since it was your Grandfathers. If you have the history of each piece, write it down & keep it all together.

In this day and time, those brass knuckles might be handy to have around

That's neat stuff. I noticed the Army Air Corp items. What type of plane did he fly?

Check out that Bible. Some people kept family history in them. Frank...

I have many if these cards from France that my grandfathers uncle I believe it was, sent to his mother during the war ... Addresses envelopes and all. Pretty special. Thanks

Thanks everybody . This is just part of what I have from him. He was sentimental about history as well. I saved everything I could get my hands on .
