I used Veteran Buddy Finder on Facebook. They found the family of WW II dogtags that I had within 15 minutes.

Kirkland is a ghost town in southeastern Childress County, Texas, near US-287 and 8 miles Southeast of the modern city of Childress, Texas. The population was 44 the last time the official state map was published. (Source: Wiki) Interesting is the fact that 22 WW II veterans are buried in the Kirkland Cemetery; perhaps including your Mr. Webb. I believe his service tag reflects he was an officer "O". His last tetanus shot was in 1945. He had type O blood and was a Protestant.

That is some historic items you found , Silver Yes ' except the tag I think. I love those Wings bracelet . + the Medal .

Sure hope the Vet's family would appreciate their return especially if the Man is still alive.

This is a banner US historical and personal find.

If it be the Lords Will , may they get returned.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks Steve Mack and Davers.
I did feel a wave of honor when I saw these items at the bottom of the basket. I have no idea if I bought this basket from his relatives or if these have been floating. If anyone is up to the task of putting the word out, I am more then happy to surrender these to any interested living relative. I don't know how to go about it and guys here seem to get results in minutes!
Let me know if anyone wants to assist? I played with google for an hour and got nowhere. Officer makes a lot of sense if he received the Air Medal. Quite an honor. I wish the actual medal were here and not just the bar.

You might try the Childress American Legion Museum and ask them for assistance.

Childress being the county seat in which Kirkland is located.

If I'm reading this chart correctly, Webb was a Reserve Army officer (with a service number of 729155).
