I bought a family collection belonging to Henry Moses Pollard and inside was a mollus medal numbered 4288. Also included was his eighth regiment Vermont volunteers core badge that he engraved battle names onto. Also included were many of his baby pictures and family photos and even a lot more than that.    It's all authentic, so my question is, are there any books out there that list him as being a member of the loyal Legion? I think it's clear that he was number 4288.    He lived in Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Albany NY, before settling in Missouri.   #military order of the loyal Legion of the US

I would date this cap to mid to late 45. Because I think the  Flighter was no longer in production in Korea. And i pretty sure he would have bought this hat after he went home in 45. He didn't serve in Korea.

For just a second I thought that was one of those rare 6-wheel jeeps 😁.  mikie

Did he stay in service post war? I was given understanding that the "Flighter" cap with a patent number were post war and the "pat pending" marked caps were wartime. Nice either way.

The Arizona Chinese flying cadet patch is better behind it!

WoW--- A Great group with Photo of him and the history on him 

I think only type 3 and 4 have the amoeba shaped eye. Nice find. 

Picked up this nice named late war Crusher recently. It's named to "John W. Williams" 

. Hi Johan,   Late last night and early into this morning I got caught up in watching a guy pull an abandoned CJ5 Jeep out of a forest in America where it had stood for 25 years,  The chassis was so rotten he cut that up and acquired a replacement chassis,  The body was so bad I couldn't believe he was going to attempt making and replacing panels himself, for all the hours and costs I thought he would just buy a reproduction. It was fascinating watching this guy a true engineer he can cut and make gears himself, he also made his own tools for jobs he didn't have tools for, as I said I was fascinated and watched fourteen episodes back to back.   However here is where he fell foul of many ' real ' Jeep enthusiasts, he wanted to fit an electric motor drive in it, the online abuse he received was tremendous,  his reply was go and pull your own Jeep out a forest and rebuild it and then do what you want with it.    I haven't watched this episode yet featuring the electric motor, it shows the electric motor on the left and the original Jeep gearbox on the right, apparently he has already made a conversion plate on the gearbox to mate up to the electric motor, he needs to shorten and re-spline the gearbox first motion shaft to fit into the electric motor.    So even though he hasn't kept the originality of the Jeep I continue to watch a man following his dream . . . . . .      Norman D.
