No Binding. Condition: Very Good. A most remarkable group of letters that have attached to them, the shoulder patches of the various army groups that these men lead or represented in World War II. Written by many of America s highest ranking officers, with many of the letters dated while the war was still raging in the Pacific. These remarkable keepsakes were all sent in response to a young man writing to them. It s inconceivable to think they had the time with which to respond, but as most were European theatre active, and the war there largely over, the simple act of normalcy in replying to a child s request, may have been therapeutic beyond words. The group is also accompanied by 3 letters with facsimile patches several writers sent, as the fabric patches were unavailable due to war time shortages and mission necessity! We ve listed in full 15 descriptions below, and the remaining 15 are all similar in style and content. All signers are listed by name at the end of the description. The ability to assemble a grouping like this today is almost, we would think, impossible, and thus this is a once in a life-time collection. Too long and too lengthy to be described here fully, but contact us for a full description. See illustrations above. -- Certainly, a remarkable ensemble and worthy of bearing our ''Best of the Best'' .
