I found this old piece of paper amongst my grandfather's old items. This was in one of the photo albums he had, but there is no information attached to it.

First, before I get spammed, I've already reached out to a few agencies to see what can be done about returning this. To my understanding though, once handed over, I won't get any information.

While I wait for that process, I am curious about what it is, and if anyone has any information they could share. I don't know if this is some kind of letter or something, and I'd be interested in learning more about it before it's gone.

My grandfather was part of the 5th Amphibious Corps, USMC. He was part of the Battle of Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. I believe this came from Saipan, based on the few other images on the same page nothing he was there, but I can't confirm that.

If there are any questions, I'll try to answer the best I can.

Taking the family on vacation, doing some sightseeing, visiting museums, nature areas, the ocean, etc. I'm nothing close to a professional photographer, but I enjoy using my camera over the phone when I can.

​

I'm the original owner, my D7000 is about 20 years old and has been well maintained. I went to use it today and snapped a few photos without any issues, then I tried to take another one and got nothing but errors. After a few minutes of looking, I noticed that the blade curtain was somehow damaged and bent, and from what I can tell, the only way to fix it is to completely disassemble the camera.

​

Bummer, was looking and getting some good photos, but I guess I brought my kit along for nothing.
