WW2 AAF relics

I've been hunting a closed WW2 AAF base and found some military relics from that period. The silver coins are foreign. A 1944 Rupee from India and a 1942 10 cent from the Netherlands.

Have you found either the soldier or one of his heirs for that service tag?

The closest relative was a sisters son. Nobody closer still living. I have returned a few though.

Nice finds. I have some WW2 things at home. I have coins and paper money my dad saved from when he was in the war,plus a small alabaster vase and egyptian cotton scarf and a carved ivory necklace from his time in North Africa. I also have a pair of black marbel bookends from Italy dated I think 1944 as well as a porcelian vase a small one he picked up in an antique shop when he was in Rome.
