Answer 1

Wow!  Now that's a famly souvenier!  I really wish we had something like that in the family!  Thinking about it now, I have my combat knife from a few tours.  I wonder if the great-great-grandkids will be posting pics of it on WT in 100 years?

It also has the scabbard, and hangs on the living room wall, and causes lots of conversation with visitors

Answer 2

Hello! I am a great great great granddaughter of John A. Peacock, and am so intrigued by this photo. Thank you for sharing!
