 Some personal effects of
James F. Colley were found on a farm in Picauville, Normandy. The
articles consist of a M42 pants with reinforced knees and a partial
jacket which has missing sleeves.
According to Michel QUILEZ of France, who now owns
these items, they were originally the property of James F. COLLEY (ASN

 On
Display in Michel's home, the two parts of the jump suit have been
attached to a board with camouflage parachute material as a background

 Of
special significance is the laundry mark within the waistband, "C9875" |
 The
first letter of the owners surname and the last 4 digits of the serial
number were used to create a unique laundry identifier |
