Tucked among the odds and ends in the Alabama Treasury Department's unclaimed property vault is a piece of World War II history looking for a home.

AL.com news partner WHNT first shared the story of the service album that's being held in the Montgomery vault along with other unclaimed items, most of which come from safety deposit boxes from throughout the state. Officials with the Treasury Department said most items that remain unclaimed eventually go to auction. Military medals are kept, however in hopes their owners or their families will eventually claim them.

The officials are hoping the photo album – which shows scenes from a soldier during World War II – will find it ways back to the owner or his family. The Alabama bank that turned over the album said it belonged to "Terry N. Germany," which could be a name or just a reference to his service.

The album, according to Treasury Department's Natalie Rudolph was an item "that we were really hoping we could return."

There are clues to the owner's identity. One inscription is made out to "Terry" and says "Me, Fort Bliss Texas, 1942″. Another entry says "Me in Frankfurt, Germany, 1945."

A discharge date – Dec. 2, 1945 – is also listed.
