Hello, my name is Nicholas Hopper and I'm here in the Great ol' Pacific Northwest.
I've always had a deep interest in World War II, though I did not have any family members that was in the service during WWII. (the closet would have been my Grandfather during the Korean War but he was medically discharged before he went anywhere.)
My main interest is the European theatre mainly in the 7th Army and the 4th Inf. Div.
My very first WWII uniform I purchased was a complete 7th Army corporal Class A uniform. Since then my collection has grown to encompass all different stuff including a 1945 Willy MB jeep.
At the moment I'm trying to dig up information on a gentleman that was in the CBI theatre of operation. Years ago I purchased a huge collection of over 300 + letters from an antique store. These letters were written from the gentleman to his wife. These are all his letters from when he joined the army until he came home. What a collection. So my focus is to learn as much as I can about the person and hopefully try to locate any and all paperwork about this person.
I've been reading through a lot of the post and there seems to be a great group of people here with lots of info. I look forward to talking with all of you.
