To Meeda - 361st Engineer hand carved box
#1

Hi Marion,

 

I was referred to your site by Ken Kopaki who does historical research for Camp Claireborne. I'm the daughter of a Navy Vet and collect WWII Sweetheart jewelry and trench art. A few years back I won in an online auction a very special hand carved box, trench art from the 361st Engineer Regiment also carved inside France 1945. The inscription is -To Meeda. Someone spend a lot of time and love creating this. It has always bothered me that such a personal, romantic item is not still with the family. This is not a store bought souvenir and every time I look at this, it intrigues me more. I would love to find Meeda's family as this is just something I do not see them selling or throwing away. Take a look at the photos and I think you'll understand. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Blessings on your good work.
