A teenage girl selling them said they were found in her grandfather’s house when they were cleaning it out.
Would the ROB stand for a railroad battalion? And would Co. B have been in Germany in 1945?
We have had no idea what the writing stands for.
Thank you for your assistance.
Answer: Maybe a gift sent home from Holland by the soldier ? Company B was in charge of the rolling stock.
Unfortunately she did not get the soldiers name .

If you have any materials connected to these great Army Railway units please share them here with the families of the soldiers. If you are a collector or memorabilia dealer PLEASE share copies or scans of items BEFORE you sell these priceless materials to private collectors . I will hold the copies until after they sell. It means so much to the families of the guy's that actually served in these units.
