Please check my other auctions. In this listing, we have an original, incredible one-of-a-kind bomber bag from WW2, owned by T/5 (Technician Fifth Grade) Harry R. What makes it so unique is the folk art on the bag, painted by the soldier during the war. This is guaranteed to be original, and it still has part of a Railway Express Agency sticker from Seattle with Mr. Hammel’s name on it. The bag itself is in very good shape for its age. The handle is torn, as you can see in the photos. On one side is painted T/5 Harry R. Hammel, 24th Mechanized Calvary Reconnaissance Troup. There’s actually an incredible PDF historical document that recorded the history of his squadron if you want to print it out and keep it with this piece: www. Cgsc. Contentdm. Oclc. Org/cdm/ref/collection/p4013coll8/id/2897. On the other side is painted a neat picture of Japan along with the places Mr. Hammel was assigned: Inducted at Fort Hayes, Columbus, OH; Basic Training at Ft. Trp at Moji, Kyushu, Japan. This would make a great centerpiece for a WW2 military collection! The bag has been stuffed with paper to protect it.
