As promised in an earlier post, here are some photos related to my father's USAAF WWII service in India.
This is unlike bladed weapons previously pictured by Danny and others. Almost reminds me of a bayonet blade, but obviously hand-made, as of course is its case (scabbard?).
Back of my father's bracelet, obviously a trinket from Ranikhet where he probably spent a short period in the rest camp. the front has his name and the CBI shield.
My father, as previously mentioned, arrived by ship in Bombay in 1943, spent time in Karachi, Agra, somewhere near Calcutta and Burma. Precise locations and units I have no data.
Wish I knew exactly which outfits he assigned to, but from unit research suspect the 80th Fighter Group which was associated with many of the same locations.
