His bag was stolen as he made his way back to the U.S. after the Korean War<\/p>\n
It was found at a construction site and returned to his family in New Hampshire<\/p>\n
McCusker, a war veteran who served in World War II and Korea, died in 1983<\/p>\n
According to Mr. McCusker\u2019s daughter, he had reported it stolen. It was found recently in the basement of a building in Chatellerault, France, about 185 miles southwest of Paris. Construction workers tossed it out, leaving it on top of a pile of rubbish, where it was spotted by the building\u2019s owner, Patrick Caubet, who noticed the photographs and military documents such as a ration card. Caubet, whose grandfather was injured by a shell during WWII, and whose father had suffered severe burns during the Algerian War, made an effort to find the owner, to no avail, even approaching the Pentagon about it. He finally resorted to contacting a French military office to get help tracking down any family members of McCusker. After a few stumbles, Sharon McCusker Moore confirmed that one of the photographs was of her mother, and the wallet was on its way to her.<\/p>\n
How McCusker lost it is speculation, but his bag\/luggage was stolen and his wallet was in the duffel bag, so whoever stole the bag, most likely took whatever cash there was out of the wallet and tossed it aside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
