45th Division News Vol. V No. 25 "What is your superstition? "Ever since I've been overseas, I've been taking my girl into combat with me. Well, almost, anyway. I won't go up front unless all my weapons carry her name. I've got that name carved into the stock of my M-1, into the stock of my Tommy gun and my pistol holster carries her name too. So, if you happen to find a weapon of any sort bearing the name "Irene", look me up because I'll have lost the best good luck charm I ever had."Made/Created
