Named WWII Chaplain's Cased Field Communion Service Set

The fitted cased communion set is named to U.S. Army Chaplain Donald W. Zimmerman. The hard case is approximately 13 inches by 17-1/4 inches by 8-1/4 inches deep. The set contains silver communion implements to include an altar cross; two candlesticks, with candles; two glass jars, one of which has a pouting spot for sacramental wine; a round covered box for communion wafers; and a tray with small glasses for serving of the wine. Also with the set is a silver cleaning cloth; a small cross for wear around the neck; a single officer's Chaplain Corps collar insignia; a book of World War II matches; and a prayer card with 'A Soldier's Prayer'. The set is accompanied by an 8 inch by 10 inch copy of a World War II photograph of Chaplain Zimmerman; a copy of his online obituary; and a copy of a photograph of a Chaplain in the field with an open communion set. The silver implements all show a dark and uncleaned patina, and the exterior surfaces of the case exhibit scuffs and wear, but overall the set is in complete and impressive field used condition.
