The Brattleboro Historical Society receives requests in several forms. Some individuals respond to our Facebook posts, some send emails to histsoc@sover.net, others write letters, and still others leave messages on the answering machine. This week weâll review two of our recent requests.
A few weeks ago, we received an email from a gentleman whose great uncle had been awarded a Purple Heart for action in the South Pacific. The man to whom the medal was awarded died during World War II at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. He died early in the war, in September of 1942. The medal was sent to his mother and handed down through the family. Now his great-nephew wants to donate this medal to the historical society to be included with our WW II Memorabilia. What an honor to be asked to hold this very special object within our collection.
