Front: Last to know first to go Back: Unimpeachable Sources And Responsible Journalism Ignored Office Does anyone know anything else about the above photo? I found this amongst the memorbalia of my deceased Father in Law, Colonel Robert L. Ely, Jr. He was a 25 year old battalion commander in Patton's Third Army, got out after the war, and subsequently returned to Active Duty in 1948. Served overseas in ETO (1944-45), Eniwetok Atoll (1951), Brazil (1957) and Japan (1961-64). He retired in 1967. I have no idea where/when he got the lighter. -- James E. Crouch, Colonel US Army Retired
