    WW2 capture certificates. It appears that Cecil Wells was a souvenir collector. Photo is believed to be Wells.

    2 X pistols, binos and a camera. He probably had a heavy duffle bag!

    These certificates were required by some units to document souvenir items-- usually weapons.

    Not sure what happened to the items-- probably more valued than the paperwork. When together with a firearm, these documents tend to enhance value and collectability.

    In our modern conflicts (Iraq/ Afghanistan) some units continue to require these. There are fairly strict rules on what souvenir items can be taken, but of course firearms are forbidden.

    My photos, my paperwork. Do not copy or use photos without permission.
