Grouping, F/O Edwin Gremmer, Pilot, Air Transport Command, USAAF, CBI

Rare genuine WWII USAAF grouping, made up of a 'dog tag' issued to some Edwin Gremmer (ASN T-184089, vaccinated in 1944, blood type O, Protestant) and a Service Pilot badge (bullion).

Some additional mention, grossly carved on the identity tag, seems to indicate that the above-mentioned serviceman was allergic to penicillin.

A photograph, a newspaper clipping (obituary) and copies of his report of separation and certificate of service complete this homogeneous set, in good overall condition.

Edwin Gremmer was born on March 23, 1917 in Custer, Montana to Dutch parents and joined the Air Corps on August 1st, 1942 (ASN 19124498). After being awarded his pilot's wings, he deployed to Burma with Air Transport Command from March to December 1945. He was discharged on March 12, 1946 as a Flight Officer, and passed away on January 31, 1981.
