WW1 German Property Bring Backs

DavidJayUden · 01-23-2014, 09:01 PM

Funny story from a Maxim book, where a departing enlisted man tried to make conversation with a young officer who was busily engaged in tagging a Maxim gun at the train depot after the war. When the snooty officer left, the enlisted man determined that the gun had the officer's name and USA home address on it.
So of course he crossed that out and put his name and address on it.
To be rewarded some months later with the arrival of said Maxim gun at his home...Delivered free of charge, of course.
