Scrapbooks, unit histories, ashtrays, plaques, patches, etc. These are just a few of the types of items that were produced either officially or unofficially both during and immediately after the war to commorate the actions of our brave veterans. Original examples have become just as rare as some of the official uniforms and equipment issued to our servicemen during the war.
