    I bought this small WWII foot locker today at an antique store and was curious if anyone has seen anything similar. I a little suspicious that the paint used for the words on the box would still look so good after all these years? I am also curious about the word "CRASH" painted on the lid. Possibly a nickname?

    Thanks,

    Barry

      I believe your foot locker is newer then WW2. The rank of SP.4 Mulligan wasn't used by the Army until July 1, 1955. The drawing of the Armored Personnel Carrier M-113
      wasn't used until 1962. The 108th Inf. became part of the 27th Armored Division in late 1968. The name CRASH was more then likely a nickname. Looks like the foot locker was used during the Vietnam period.

      Great info. I appreciate it. That makes sense since the drawing and words looked too good to be from the ww2 era.

      Your welcome, I was in the Army from 1961-1964, I was also a SP/4 Specialist fourth class.

      I bought the locker because Im doing a ww2 military pinup poster and wanted a authentic locker for a prop. I will keep looking.
