This gas mask was located several years ago quite by accident, the grandfather of the individual who we acquired it from had served in WW2 and somehow was drawn back to the Palau Islands, where he had once fought in one of the largest blood-baths of the WW2 Pacific Campaign known as Bloody Nose Ridge on the Island of Peleliu (Beliliou). While scuba diving near Bloody Nose Ridge he discovered these items in a cave that was located on the side of a cliff (photo above).
The Japanese garrison on Peleliu under the command of Lt. Gen. Sadao Inoue was 10,500 strong prior to the U.S. invasion. After 74 days of fierce battle the island was considered secure by U.S. forces. The Japanese foreces had all but been annihilated with only 320 prisoners surviving -- 10,180 Japanese had died honorably for their Emperor.
BRIEF PSYCHIC IMPRESSIONS
Upon Initial investigation strong latent energy is present and a more intensive investigation is now being conducted. "I'm experienced the feeling that someone had been killed wearing this mask. Indications from the Spirit were, that he wanted to see his son, to go back home to his family". This is as situation where the individual had not yet realized he had been killed.
INTERESTING NOTE: The evening after receiving the mask the grandson informed me that when he retired for that night he experienced many flying beetles, invading his bed, they seemed to swarm out of nowhere.
