Ed Tinker's New Book: "Veteran Bringbacks"

Ed,

I received my book in the mail yesterday! A fine effort to preserve these stories, which would never have made a history book otherwise.
If you don't mind my pointing out one small typo, on page 88, which has our own John Sabato's 1917 Erfurt Luger bring-back story, it mentions That Charles LiBretto, the vet who liberated the Luger, was in a German Beer hall along with his unit on March 31st, 1944 at the time.
Surely this should read 1945, unless we had a whole division who sneaked into Germany prior to D-Day!!
I have my Dad's CZ24/26, along with his bringback papers. These papers at first sight do not appear like any of the others featured in the book, although I will check again with the book in hand before making that claim.

A great effort. Thank you, Edward!
