Capture Papers E thru H

 

 EXHIBIT E

Full-page form. Headquarters Company 106th Inf. APO 27. This certificate indicates SOUVENIRS OF NO INTELLIGENCE VALUE ARE RELEASED TO THE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF. Note no Serial Number on the pistol. Also note the triangle blue ink Intelligence Stamp with initials and Examiner Number 98.

 

 

EXHIBIT F

382d Hospital Section APO 901. Allows EARL WHIPPLE POSSESSION OR TO MAIL. Rifle has a Serial Number.

 

 

EXHIBIT G

Earl Whipple also kept his receipt for purchase of souvenirs at a local shop in Fusan Korea. So I guess that indicates the APO 901 from Certificate F was Fusan Korea. Now we know where a lot of souvenirs came from - shops. The merchants learned quickly that souvenirs were hot items.

 

 

EXHIBIT H

Very aged Certificate. 530th Military Police Battalion Army APO 660. This original Tag containing the Intelligence Stamp for the pistol listed on the Certificate, but the pistol got separated from the document. Both were crammed into a T-26 holster ammo pouch. The Certificate was folded on the description of the item One (1) Japanese Army Revolver # 2908 (I think). Number is very hard to read (only the 2 is positive). They call the holster a CASE. The Examiner number was 422.
