Last night I went to bed after seeing Christoph's great Blessing/Greetings! I was so happy to receive that from him!
And Marion, thank you for your greeting too!
Now 13 pages will be nothing if Christoph and I continue to be so lucky .... Is it too big for the site?
The family of the deceased gentleman is going to send me a copy of my Dad's letter! The nephew loved his Uncle, Robert, and he and his wife have made sure that everyone in the family has copies of everything they have about him. Robert's Dad went to Europe to bring his son back home and he is buried near where they live. I will one day go out there and go to the Cemetery and also look at the memorabilia/photos that they have of Robert.
I still do not know the Unit that Robert was in but eventually I am sure I can figure that out if I can confirm the place he was wounded and the exact date. I am so curious about how far away he was when he was wounded. It may have been on Oct. 29, 1944. And his POW number makes sense with my Dad at 13012 and Robert at 13022. Looks like the numbers got assigned there at the Abbey.
I am trying to do a little more War work before must head out to Mom's.
