Learning about the source relics is typically a good endeavor. The inventory on this website provides some insight into what the veterans themselves collected as momentos of their time as soldiers. Some are very common articles, such as folding knives, others are larger and less functional items, and yet the theme of a "piece of wood" from a location comes time and time again. This is a long list, but the stories these items could have told (if they could speak) must have been fascinating.
The cataloger lists names, locations, and in many instances how long an individual possessed an item. The few photographs are sometimes sad, as in the case of the Lancer's flag, or just "gee whiz" as in the one of the canteen with the bee's nest built around it.
