Mary Ann,

I have seen those aluminum bracelets and I think they were made by some of the locals in Italy. Our friend Gilles from Switzerland http://dogface36.skyrock.com/ has a good collection of some he has picked up frrom ebay. I think they are pretty cool.

 

Gilles mentioned something about Dad's canteen being proof that the 36th landed on Yellow beach where he is originally from.

 

The funny thing about that canteen is that I carried it for more years than my dad. He gave it to me when I was about 8 years old and I carried it until I was about 20. It is one of the old WW1 models, with a metal cap. Dad said he grabbed it because he didnt think you could properly clean the plastic lids
