HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Mississippi Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby will be receiving more than 40 WWII-era military items from the U.S. Army Depot in Anniston, Ala. The Army Museum Enterprise releases thousands of pieces of artifacts in its inventory to museums, veterans' organizations and groups across America. The museum has already received two artillery pieces and a tank. Each piece will require extensive restoration before it can be displayed. Museum Director Tommy Lofton says it may take up to a year to get the artifacts transferred to Camp Shelby. (Source: WDAM 08/06/21)
