Handcarved Wood Q&A

Army intelligence layer and the award knife?

when I was in high school, I had an army instructor high level in my JROTC program was a lt.colonel while working for army intelligence. then as the children in school there were always rumors and Colonel occasionally it comes to joke around 007 kinds of things and so forth. but one day I was looking in the award and mentions that he had in his office and I noticed a in particular ... than I can remember that was carved by hand and, obviously, "trophy award." which was very elaborate and read the office "... the army Intelligence and the layer of intelligence and counter dagger award ...." (This is what I remember at least) and the carved wood figure shows a character looking for Jack the Ripper wearing a cape, with his left arm holding a dagger as if to stab an enemy. now I'm always curious, does anyone know what this award is for?

Take a look at the picture of wally the ghost on this site: http://asalives.org/ If that's what it seemed, it was probably an old type of ASA as mentioned by Pete No. ASA is an old pair of guys in this space. Although there ASA, most people never heard of him.
