Ingine Valued Member Australia 122 Posts	Posted 10/04/2011 05:43 am Here are two 1944 German notes I have that have. They both have handwriting on them. One is addressed to A Sargent E.W. (something) Berger. It then has the initials G.K 5Th Int. A.P.C (or L). 360 Germany. The other is addressed to a Sargent in the U.S Army. I find these very interesting and just thought I would share. I would also be interested if anybody can read all of the handwriting, as I can't make it all out, thanks :) Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16880 Posts	Posted 10/04/2011 07:51 am They're not "addressed to", they're "signed by". Soldiers on station overseas would often take a local note and sign it, as a souvenir or memento. Sometimes, notes were signed by entire platoons or companies, and were often subsequently used in a similar fashion to modern "challenge coins". Such notes are known as "short snorters". These German AMC notes are a little too small for short snorter usage - there's not much room on them to write the names of lots of people. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
