This will be a work in progress. They belonged to a soldier named Andrew Ference of the 80th Adrm Squadron. I have several letters and many item he sent his girlfriend that he met when he was training at in Georgia and she was going to college. They carried on a relationship all through the war and when it ended and he came back they married.

There is much to this story and I want to post many of the unique items he sent her during the courtship. His letters a very descriptive when describing the Filipinos and other tribes.
