Good Evening fellas,

Thanks to Marion you all know me now..LOL...

My name is James Dunigan III, I am the NCOIC of Able Company of the U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 3rd Infantry Division from Savannah, Georgia.

My personal interests lie with learning the utmost about the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division during WWII. The U.S. 3rd Infantry Division is by far my favorite division of WWII, hence my username...who'd of thought right?..LOL...

Anyways, I hope to learn a ton from each and everyone of you here in the forums.

Regards,

Sgt. James Dunigan III

Able Co., U.S. 30th Infantry Regiment

Had a new carpet layed in the den. In moving a chest my wife was cleaning out a drawer and found a old faded envelope I had brought back about 60 years ago from the ETO. In it was a bunch of old European currency I brought back and my "assignement card and Meal Ticket from my returning ship "the La Cross Victory ship" whith the tickets

punched for meals and berthing assignment. Also Allied curency from the U.S. sector

in marks, English Allied currency in Schillings, and French Allied curency in Franks plus a lot of European currency including several German old time bills up to and including one

50,000,000 mark bill. (evidentally from the 1923 inflation curency). Also, two U.S.

one dollar Silver certificates, one of the regular size and one of the real large ones.

Both say "in silver payable to the bearer on demand". If I remember correctly we were paid our back pay in silver certificates on board ship on our way home in cash.

Made for many card and crap games while on the ship using American currency .

Got to start looking around as maybe more goodies will turn up I have just filed away.

Just looked again and there is a 10,000,000 mark note also. Wonder what they would have been worth today if they were good? Can post photos if anyone interested.

I wonder if I can get 2 silver dollars from the Govt for the 2 silver certificates???

More and more things are appearing as of late in "cleaning out".
