This
glass paperweight belonged to Rex Combs (co A). It appears to have
a frosted surface and bears the etched images of the regiment number
over infantry crossed rifles insignia and the parachutist badge with a
single star implying that it may have been created following the
Normandy jump. Rex also jumped into Holland and would have earned
a second star at that time.
