US Officer's Grouping 89th Infantry Div.

[ahrtal]

This is just a nice grouping that I acquired many years ago, unfortunately after his untimely death.  Robert A. Bauman was a friend of ours by way of his son, who was a career Army Officer.  The grouping consists of Robert Bauman's 1st Lt.'s uniform, with all original insignia.  As a lieutenant, he was a Platoon Leader, then Company Commander of "L" Co.354th IR, with promotion to Captain following. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal as a 1st Lt. leading a Company, and Armored Task Force during the final days of WWII (19 April 1945). 

I remember his passing in January 1982.  His wife and son were visiting us, and we received a phone call that he had had a massive heart attack.  He was one Hell of a great guy.  I was very lucky to have known him.
