Battle Bible Found and returned to Widow...

ALBERTVILLE, AL—
A long-lost religious memento is now in the hands of an Albertville woman, thankful to have it. Thursday, the widow of a World War II veteran received a Bible her husband carried in battle.

Lorene Thompson said she never knew it existed until someone called her recently, asking if the book might be her husband's.

Thompson clapped her hands with excitement as her son Lynn opened a package sent from Philadelphia. She had heard a 70-year-old Bible belonging to her husband was coming in the mail.

Much to her surprise, the Catholic prayer book is no bigger than a matchbox.

"I think it's wonderful," said Thomspon. "It's more than I can believe. It's really real. I love everything that's been done."

Lorene married J.W. Thompson in 1945, after he returned from World War II. He never told her about the tiny book of scriptures and prayers, given to soldiers.

Many sold theirs. How J.W. parted with his is unknown, but he later became a preacher and collected Bibles.

"He loved people," said Lorene. "He loved the church. That came first in his life."

Cynthia Marelia, chief of staff for a Pennsylvania state senator, bought the book at a New Jersey shop. When she opened it, she saw the name 'J. Thompson, Albertville, Alabama.'

Marelia got in touch with Chuck Ellis, a veteran and Albertville city councilman, to try to find the owner. However, finding J. Thompson of Route 4 wasn't easy. There's no road by that name any more.

Then, one day Ellis was walking his dog through Memory Hill Cemetery.

"As I got close to the tombstone, the flag caught my eye. It startled me," Ellis said. "I was like, how have I missed this tombstone?"

Sure enough, it was the grave of Reverend J.W. Thompson, World War II veteran. His wife's headstone had no year of death. She was alive, and living in Albertville.

Lorene Thompson said she will treasure the small Bible.

"I'll always keep the Bible, and when I meet the Lord, the boys will have the Bible," she said.

The book's finder, Cynthia Marelia, sent a letter to Mrs. Thompson as well.

"I am truly honored to give you the gift of a piece of your beloved husband's history back to you, and I thank you for giving me the gift of cherishing his memory for his dedication and service to our country," Marelia wrote

Stumbled across this a few months ago and thought it would make for a good question:

The Russians modified this popular type of lend-lease equipment in a pretty unique way(as far as I know). What equipment and what was the modification?
