I picked up this killer Bronze Star group today at a local military show.   This group is named to Technician Sergeant Russell Regis Braun.    Braun served with the 2679th Headquarters Company, Psychological Warfare Branch during Ww2.    Whats really nice is the Bronze Star is officially government engraved and I have the paper showing that.    I am still trying to find more information on Braun and the unit he served in any help is appreciated.   CITATION FOR THE BRONZE STAR    Russell R. Braun, 33174232, Technical Sergeant, 2679th Headquarters Company, psychological Warfare Branch, for meritorious achievement in connection with military operations in the Mediterranean theater from 20 July 1943 to 26 April 1945. As acting first sergeant of the Eighth Army Combat Propaganda Team of the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Force Headquarters, Technical Sergeant Braun distinguished himself by meritorious achievement in combat operations in the Mediterranean theater. By zealous endeavor, diplomatic contact with British and American officers and with the enlisted men in his charge, and by efficient service of an very high order, Technical Sergeant Braun contributed an exceptional service to the war effort. Frequently under heavy fire, he was particularly valuable in his capacity as transport sergeant and contributed materially to the success of the Allied operations in North Africa and Italy. Entered service from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Found these in a box at the show. The 6 pocket mag pouch looks unusual to me. Maybe rigger made? I have no idea what the other pouch is.  Nothing is marked.

I had a very good day at a local military show today. The Named Bronze Star group is definitely the star of everything. 

Not a problem. They were 10 miles South East of me but I couldn't go to work Wednesday due to road closure. Wasn't too upset about that.

Really nice 👌 

And another. 

MCM, nice example.  Mine has been kept serviceable.  I would love to find an L76.  Keep up the hunt.

Got this today, couldn’t find much info on Charles Tonoli but he was part of the 5th pioneer bn on Iwo Jima.

Wartime "economy" metal badge made of material not deemed to be critical to wartime needs. Generally always crude-looking with safety pin-type attaching devices.

Thanks again, could a flight jacket have been worn over the m426a flight suit like a g1?
