WWII bag found in desert
Alec Ross's bag with pics and letters from home was found in the Egyptian desert. Alec was part of the LRDG or Popski's Private Army, and lost his bag during the war...Now it will be returned to his sister...
Seems he was dating two girls at the time as well......Well, these special service guys!

Yeah, he only died 3 years ago. But a wonderful gift for his sister.

Thanks for bringing us this article my friend. It sure is a shame that this soldier did not live to see his items found.
