Glad someone else can get some enjoyment out of these things. After closer examination of the ticket to the "This is the Army" ticket, It says Military Theater-Santa Maria. Not sure where that was (will have to do some research). I am just learning how to use this scanner (got it last weekend) so I re scanned the Apollo Theater ticket. It says 5th Army Special Service and THe american Theatre WIng present Katharine Cornell and Brian Aherne in The Barretts of Wimpole Street.
Oct. 1400 Hours. Although it appears cut off when you scan it in reality it is not. I think one edge is a bit worn from spending 62 years in this bill fold (which appears to be a local one he picked up in North Africa. As I dig more I will share what I find. Unfortunately I do not have all the photos my dad took but will try to recover them from my brother. I do remember there were quite a few of building bridges (good ole Army Engineering) and such.
