VERY RARE, IDENTIFIED WWII PERSONAL COMBAT SOUVENIR ALBUM, CONTAINING PERSONAL LETTERS, DRAWINGS, CARTOONS (SOME SHOWING KAMIKAZI ATTACKS), AND OTHER WWII MEMORABILIA, Including Navy Booklets, Etc. DESCRIPTION: This is a great, very rare US NAVY sailor’s archive souvenir album. Has a little of everything, including a number of handwritten letters, including one from a girl he met in Australia, who seems to be politely dumping him; Also a bunch of copied humorous cartoons about various military actions, which appear to have been taken from a shipboard publication during the war; also a printed 1943 shipboard receipt giving his name, G. Dodge, Seaman 2nd Class on the USS BENNETT; a variety of colored souvenir books from various locations; 2 -Nice “NAVY DAY” printed summaries summarizing her history, etc. And various athletic booklets, etc. It started with operations with carriers at Pearl Harbor, before its first encounter with the enemy on Nov. After this, it had a number of documented kills, did a lot of minesweeping tours (pictured in one of the cartoons), and had to limp back to Puget Sound AFTER BEING HIT BY A KAMIKAZE PLANE. “She might have gone to the bottom if not for the courage and resourcefulness of her crew”. Great FIRST HAND, personal history 2 different Navy day bor. Items for a collection!! IWO JIMA LANDING SUPPORT!! The attached scans can not come close to doing this justice, but hopefully will provide an idea of the great conten. T and great potential reading/enjoyment. There are 35 large pages, in good condition for their age, although no album covers. I count 62 items contained on the pages, and a great variety of letters, cartoons, personal papers, booklets, and histories. A rare item for any WWII NAVY collector.

As it came out of the estate. On the inside front cover it is written happy birthday to Sally low from uncle lud Nov 1945. The front cover has a few rips in it. Few of the pages are loose. Most of the patches are glued to the pages. There is a few more patches than what are pictured. But they are Corps, command and non valuable patches. Album shows wear from storage. Pages are flaking from ages. There is no brick and mortar store.
