WwW, Part 2:
It was an awful blood-bath but because our country wasn’t in it very long, I think sometimes we tend to forget how raggedly ugly it was. And probably part of that would be how America was attacked at Pearl Harbor and the extensive mobilization that wasn’t as wide-spread for WW-One. It definitely deserves more attention.
My father came along late in his father’s life, as did I, but his brother George was much earlier and rode the boat to France in 1918 (daddy rode the boat to Guadalcanal in the next “big one”). There’s a 37mm gun crew in this batch and Uncle George crewed one of those. I have an inert shell for one of those contraptions rat-holed that he gave to Dad.
