Default Original George Patton "Prayer/Christmas" card and Orignal snapshot!! RARE!!

Fresh from a scrapbook of a solider of the 3rd Army, is an original George Patton "prayer" card and an original snapshot photo of the solider who this "prayer card" belong to!

The original snapshot photo of the solider who own this prayer card,is seen throwing snowballs at fellow troops, relaxing in a little down time...just 10 days before the start of " The Battle of the Bulge" !! On the back of the snapshot photo it reads," This was made (?) in M-- Germany on Nov 26,1944 1.Lt McAndrew(?) 2. Cpl. R-----(?) 3. ME 4.PFC Kollins(?) The Krauts(Nazi) were about 3/4 mile away then. So we were safe." .....Pretty crazy!

The famous George Patton "Prayer/Christmas" card has some wear/use, but look like this soldier had it close to him during the battle and the rest of the war.

If you are not familiar with George Patton's famous "Prayer/Christmas" card, here's a little info on it....
