Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Queen Cutlery History has today published a compelling story, shared by a reader, of a Queen City military knife used in World War II. The knife was carried by the reader’s father, a US Army soldier attached to the 603rd Camouflage Engineer Battalion - the so-called “Ghost Army”. This unit was classified Top Secret and only declassified in 1996.

Beyond the knife itself, this is a story about family. It is a tribute from a son to his father, a member of the “Greatest Generation”.
