This listing is for a very rare 1927 NY Giants Sterling Silver Season Pass that belonged to Brigadier General Hugh Aloysius Drum (Fort Drum is named after him). The pass is in a fan shape (pun intended, we're sure) and measures about 1 1/2 x 1 1/4" inches. The front is marked 'Giant' at the top and '1927' and 'Chas. A. Stoneham, Pres.' on the edges. The back is engraved 'Brigadier Gen Hugh A Drum & One', and is also marked 'Lambert Bros, NY, Sterling'. Please see the detailed photos below and contact us with any questions. Don't miss your chance to add this one-of-a-kind piece to your collection!
Hugh Aloysius Drum (September 19, 1879 – October 3, 1951) was a career United States Army officer who served in World War I and World War II and attained the rank of lieutenant general. He was notable for his service as First United States Army's chief of staff during World War I, and commander of First Army during the initial days of World War II.
The Hugh A. Drum Papers collection includes correspondence, diaries, newspaper clippings, memorandums and other official documents. It is maintained at the U. S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. In 1951 Pine Camp, an Army training site near Watertown, New York, was renamed Camp Drum in General Drum's honor. The post is now known as Fort Drum, and is home to the Army's 10th Mountain Division.
