When my orders camt to return home from the 3rd Inf Div all web equiptment, helmet
and other gear including weapon was turned in. I left with a complete Class A uniform,
extra O.D.'s, field jacket, raincoat, underwear and socks. I sold my P-38 pistol to a new replacement for a $100.00 MONEY ORDER MADE OUT BY HIM TO MY HOME. (Allied currency was no good to me. At Le Harve France we were given any clothes needed.
When I arrived home it was with litle but what I wore plus a small bag. My class a uniform was hung up in a closet with my boots and forgotten. When I married, it still stayed there after moving out and then was evidentally lost or forgotten. (Damn it).
Luckily, my "souvineers" and many German weapons and equitpment I had already sent home and many boxes awaited me.
