Just fishing for comments about anything anyone can tell me about large flags, ie what they were used for, ie ships or just wall decor.

I thought I would show my detective work to seek the required paperwork for a genuine provinance of this item from the Gi’s family who signed this flag.

This is signed by a GI and I currently found his family members (he dies in 1994) and have yet to ring but inten to to ask about what they know about this flag.

I found him by looking at when the USA entered the toem of Lamark germany, then I discovered the tank battalion who was there at the date on the flag.

This lead me to the infantry associated with the tanks, of which were several overtime but only one at the date on the flag, it was the 76th infantry.

I then looked at any history about these chaps and found that my Flag signing GI (Emil Benarcik) won a Bronze Star.

From there I found a death notice in a paper that listed some reletives……oddly I saw this obituary when first looking for Emil via google first but didnt see the relatives because of the way it was written, my mistake..

I used some online phone companies to find addresses and phone numbers of his reletives…I thought they may be interested in who has it now…especially far away in australia.

So anyway I anticipate calling soonish (Im in australia), what would I need to claim "provinance" of this flag?
