A wallet lost seventy years ago in AUSTRIA by an American soldier called Eligo RAMOS, found its way back to its rightful owner in 2015. It is thanks to a doctor who discovered the item in his late grandfather's farmhouse. Josef RUCKHOFER made a statement (AFP) saying that he was renovating the house near the city of Salzburg when he stumbled across the leather wallet under a wooden plank.
As a young man the American soldier fought through western Europe in a filed artillery unit and even liberated concentration camp prisoners. However, when his unit left, in the move, he lost his wallet which was full of family photos and other sentimental items.
