[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 121509, member: 136"]Thank you ALL for your great input! I'm excited by the varying options given in the responses. Davey, no, Jim was NOT a POW. He was regular Army and went over as a private, returned as a corporal. (No great shaker, military wise - just a solid, hard worker.) And, Gila, I knew Jim quite well, and I have access to much of the history of his military unit & all, but I haven't yet done any real digging! For those wondering about Louise: there is no last name on anything - no mailing envelopes (i.e. return addresses) or things of that ilk - just lots of photos & a few letters (the letters, I am inclined to destroy, as they are rather personal...) As time allows, I will be looking into the various museum & Burma Veterans association options. (Owned, thanks for the link!) To me, this sounds like the right thing to do with much of this stuff. Thanks again, everybody! -C-[/QUOTE]
