Charmes Bridge over the Moselle

[CaptO]

The next time I am deployed, I will know (for the most part) how long I will be gone; and that will only be 7 months to a (at a max) a year. My grandfather shipped out for north Africa and had to tell his wife, "be back when the war is over." We always talk of the "fanatical NAZI's" being of a "victory or death" mindset, but there were three ways home for our boys oversees as well - victory, death, or incapacitation.

My fathre was three when he met his dad.

 

You keep typing and I'll keep trying to make the posts interesting! I have several more scans of my Grandfathers notebooks.
