Today I discovered that the link to the National WWII Museum contains some items from Captain Neil Stewart of F Company of the 422nd
www.nationalww2museum.org/history/bulge.html
The link also contains some German footage and other information about the Battle of the Bulge
2021 Update This link no longer takes you directly to anything meaningful on Captain Sewart. I'll leave it here in case you you're a better detective than I am.
What I found here can also be seen on the Indiana Military site below. It contains this note and a photo of these items:
Battle of the Bulge Artifact of Captain Neil P. Stewart ( dog tags, golden lion patch & MIA telegram)
Captain Stewart was the commanding officer of K company 422nd Infantry regiment 106th Division during the Battle of the Bulge. He wore these dog tags around his neck during the battle, his capture and forced march of several hundred kilometers to a POW camp in Poland. Upon his arrival at POW camp, Oflag 64, Stewart was issued the rectangular German prisoner of war Identification tag. Captain Stewart endured nearly five months of captivity before being liberated by Allied forces in late April, 1945. Gift of Dr. J. Campbell, The National World War II Museum Inc., 2005
