The 84th Infantry Division Railsplitter Society maintains a collection of memorabilia of the type you describe. The materials are displayed at annual reunions. There will be at least two more reunions, in 2008 and 2009. Eventually, the Illinois State Military Museum at Springfield, Illinois will be the depository in perpetuity for Railsplitter Society records, artifacts, and memorabilia. For information contact Mr. Forrest T. Lothrop, Executive Secretary, 84th Infantry Division Railsplitter Society, Inc., PO Box 827, Sioux Falls, SD 57101-0827 (Phone: 605-334-8787). The Society does not have a web site. You may wish to post your grandfather's name, hometown, and any other information you want to provide about him here in the event that someone may remember him.
