    His post war collections includes a copy of a typed history of the 155th Field Artillery Brigade with list of officers names and home addresses and handwritten X's presumably to mark those killed in action dated 12/1918 and listings of photos that can be obtained from the signal corps including names and details. No significant photos are included. They are just shown for context (he is the officer on the far right of the photo).

    Map to Illustrate the Offensive of St Mihiel Salient shows three phases so must have been produced after the war.
    Maps are in variable condition - see photos: some appear unused but folded for 104 years and some have tears on the folds and missing small pieces of paper as expected after being used at war
