Description:

MARINES CARTOGRAPHER A. N. CONNETT, JR. EQUIPMENT AND MAP GROUPING
Lot of material from Marines cartographer A. N. Connett, Jr. Included is Connett's leather officer's belt, 2" wide, complete with snap-on leather sword hangers and cross-over chest strap; a leather tri-fold map case, 15" x 10 1/2" overall, bears Connett's name and "New York" embossed in gold on the cover, black stamped official military buttons, the carrying strap torn from the case, cover split at seams, a few other flaws due to age; original drawing on tracing paper executed in various colors, 18" x 38", a map showing physical features such as paved and dirt roads, rivers and streams, forests, and fields, and also shows boundaries between battalions, a "Line of Departure" from which American soldiers would presumably advance, the "Enemy Outpost Line", and the village of "Tissey" and the road to "Vezannes". This region is southeast of Paris, therefore this map was used in maneuvers. Also present are two chain metal hangers, along with five pin-on and sewn-on ribbon bars which include the Legion of Merit, World War I Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal (indicating his probable service in World War II), Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, and others.
