ENGLEWOOD, Colo — The 10th Mountain Division Living History Group, which preserves items belonging to the state's famous military division, lost more than $20,000 after their trailer filled with WWII artifacts was stolen in Englewood.
Fortunately, most of the artifacts were not in the trailer, but some of the larger items were lost. The stolen pieces include a kitchen set, netting, signage and green tent, some of which can be seen below. A son of a military veteran, Little's interest in military memorabilia started at an early age, when he bought a Springfield rifle for $14.50 when he was 11 years old.Eventually, Little took an interest in the historic 10th division. The group were military skiers who trained in Colorado. When they returned home from the war, many of the men helped found ski resorts like Vail and Aspen.
After stockpiling pieces of memorabilia for more than 40 years, Little and his fellow historians have displays at the Broomfield Veterans Museum, History Colorado Museum and the National Archive. The organization is now international as well, with members in England, Norway and Italy.
