YMU-503cx.  U.S. Korean War Posthumously Awarded Purple heart and Personal Effects Trunk and Document group to an Infantry Officer in the 15th Infantry 3rd Division.   A unbelievable grouping with a lot of documents, pictures, trunk, uniforms and assessories (about 6 shirts, 3 jackets, 5 pants, 1 overall, and other misc items and documents).   The Purple Heart was awarded Posthumously for wounds resulting in the soldiers death on Jan 29, 1951 for military operations in Korea.   Purple Heart is numbered in matching numbered mailing package (however, it appears the purple heart was left somewhere in very high heat, probably an attic, and the purple plastic center has melted).   Among the documents is a documented hand signed by President Truman and Purple Heart Award document.   The truck includes several uniforms and personal papers, insignias, and other misc items and was mailed from the Army Effects Bureau back to the family in Washington DC.   A great piece of history of a KIA Purple Heart Officers grouping from Korea.  Please note, this grouping is very large and heavy and will most likely have to be shipped via some type of UPS ground shipment................- Sold -
