Original U.S. WWII Named “May This Keep You From Harm” New Testament Gold-Plated Heart-Shield Breast Pocket Bible in Original Box Japanese Ordnance and then moved to BangaloreOriginal Item: Only One Available. Now this is a lovely example of an item that is growing increasingly difficult to come across, the Heart Shield bible. John Phillips, an American soldier, received a government issue pocket Bible before he shipped off to Europe during World War II. On patrol, trudging through knee deep snow during the Ardennes Offensive and the Battle of the Bulge, Phillips and his squad found themselves in the middle of an ambush.
