This has always been one of my favourite pictures of Dad. I used to make up stories about this picture because I thought he looked so young and in this picture I could always see elements of my brothers' faces. I used to wonder about that time in his life. It's funny how things turn out. Of all his brothers Dad was the only one who was able to serve.
"Of all his brothers Dad was the only one who was able to serve." So Grandpa was the only one who was allowed to serve or the only one who wanted to serve?
ReplyDeleteIt is my understanding that many of his brothers wanted to serve as well but were to young or had health issues that disqualified them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I just assumed more of our family served in the war.
