Included are the following: TWO AAF PATCHES, two corporal stripes, TWO SERGEANT STRIPES, two overseas stripes for a year of overseas service, ONE BOMBARDIER PATCH (normally a lieutenant would be bombardier, so I am not sure if Kane was a bombardier or not), One brass US collar disc, ONE NAMED PAUL KANE 466th BOMB GROUP ASSOCIATION PIN, one 5.5\" diameter hand-embroidered heraldic eagle felt patch probably hand made by Paul\'s wife Dorothy, KANE\'S ORIGINAL STATESIDE DIARY (3\" x 4.5\" with many entries on many pages.

I bought all this together at a local sale. What you see in the pictures is what you get.
