Query: WW2 Uniform Item, St. Joseph County
Hello.
I am a French historian from Normandy. Sharon
Whetstone from Old Jail Museum gave me your address.
I found
recently a WW2 military trouser with a name and a serial number written on :
"Gilmer" It was Howard R Gilmer, coming from St Joseph County,
Indiana. I’ve seen
you have some Gilmer on your city... Maybe some of his descendants ?
Could you help me
to contact them or to have more information about this man ?
Thank you.
Mathieu Delamotte.
