No, I hadn't, Mr. Bern. Thanks so much.

Actually, correspondents were subject to military law and could NOT just walk out when they wanted. They had to have permission from the overall commander in theater to do that.Matt Deckard said:He's lucky though, he had the choice to leave the battlefield whenever he wanted.
Mike, it’s going to be pretty tough (if not impossible) to prove Mauldin even saw the typewriter. He worked on many machines over the years and only a couple are documented as being “his”. Most serious collectors wouldn’t bother putting any money into something like that. Now that the stamp is out, a whole new breed of people trying to make money off Mauldin’s name have come out of the woodwork. I’m SO glad I started my Mauldin collection before he passed. I can’t imagine building the collection I have today.Mike Smith said:I have a Remington Noiseless Portable No. ND- I 73048, with warranty from the Remington Typewriter Company Ltd, 100 Gracechurch Street, London EC3.
It's complete and in working order, but needs some TLC.
It was my father's, but I understood that previously it had been BILL MAULDIN'S. Certainly a possibility - my father was a good chum of Bill's; I have Mauldin books with Willie/Joe dedications to my father.
I was about to offer this typrwriter on e-bay, then I wondered if it would be of any interest to you guys?
Sorry, it's been a while since I've been here.Hey P51,
Are you out of the Seattle area? Just curious as I grew up in the northwest and am currently stuck in Cali. for awhile longer. I have the same green Graflex that you and your friend have that I use for long range photography and another military one that I use for regular photography.
I would like to put together a combat photographer impression have any suggestions on the uniform? I am not so much into crawling around in the mud (they don't really have anything like where I live anyway). So I am pretty much into the dress large base environment at airshows/naval ships etc. Then again maybe I will do Army and Navy.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to talk to one Joe Stilwell's personal photographers who told me he went AWOL to join Merrill's Marauders.

I just got confirmation the other day that we have a display space at the MVPA Convention this year for the War Correspondent/Photographer display myself and another collector have been plotting on for over a year now! I don't think this has ever bene done before anywhere. The display spot is sort of small (only 10X20 feet) so while we might run out of room, we sure won't run out of stuff to show off!Myself and a local camera collector are looking to set up a massive correspondent display for the MVPA convention in 2013...
