ahrtal Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Anyone know anything about Heer IR 117 in WWII? I've got a leather overcoat with 117 1st Lt. boards.

ahrtal Posted April 9, 2024 Author Posted April 9, 2024 Thanks, Richard. Would the boards and ciphers have been changed after it was absorbed into the 111 div.? The boards are original to the overcoat as far as I know. Maybe the owner died early on in the conflict. I've had it for about 50 years, and the boards characteristics/wear seem to bear out they were not replaced.
Richard Auld Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I think probably didn't come home and it stayed as he left it?
