"The mystery I present to you is that of an old W.W.II canteen cup, that is inscribed with the
various places the war took the bearer of the cup. I purchased it from an Army surplus store, that stood on the corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Higgins, in Chicago, Illinois in the late ‘40’s; to use the cup and canteen for hiking and camping with the Boy Scouts.
Enclosed please find an attached photo of the cup and a copy of the inscription, mimicked in style and spelling of the lettering as it appears on the cup. If the soldier who carried it is still alive, he may be interested in having it back as a souvenir of his service days, or his family may recognize the trail of his travels."
