101b.  US WWI 1st DIVISION Photo Album, Document & Painted Helmet Grouping - Nice!
Very nice grouping of Tony GINN  who served in the 26th Inf Rgt, Co. D, of the BIG RED ONE - 1st Inf Division.  A little research I did showed he was born in Austria and not granted American citizenship until after WWI. One the reverse of a portrait photo of him it states that he was WIA and received the Silver Star. Comes with his original wartime painted helmet, complete with liner and chin strap, two Bridgehead Sentinel 1st Division News letters, German book he brought back from the war, original rare booklet -  Bridgehead Sentinel: A Souvenir of the Coblemz Bridgehead Occupied By the First Division, Nice 1st Div postcard, ID's, more.  Photo Album is a nice period leather type. 67 photos.
