This is a very special autograph I collected that is quite rare. It is signed by Jack Lummus, a professional New York Giants football player who volunteered for service during WWII, where he was later killed on Iwo Jima in actions that earned him the Medal of Honor. It is a clipped yearbook autograph from his days as a Baylor University Student.

Great autograph!

Here is something that may be of interest. It is an ID bracelet to a CMOH awardee from the USMC that I have posted on CW:

Hello Scott,

Thanks for the comments. Yes that is certainly of interest, I collect Medal of Honor Recipient autographs and have around 200, with 4 posthumous recipients. I know who Damato is. That's an amazing artifact, very special. I will be posting bits of my collection to come in the following weeks, please be sure and check back.

Welcome to CW matt!

I am an antique photo/ militaria dealer and collector. Images with CMOH guys are fairly hard to come by-- with the exception of press photos.

Here is a studio shot of Lloyd Seibert, a WW1 CMOH awardee:

Sorry for the cropping-- I had some folks stealing my images a while back and then sell copies on ebay.
