We all enjoy finding and recovering bullets, buttons, standard issued equipments, etc. but every now and then you are bound to find some of the more personal things the common soldier may have in his possession. To me, these relics really hit home and remind me that they were just common people like any one else that happened to get caught up in that great conflict.
Here are some of the relics I have recovered that have a little more personal use and meaning.
