About a couple months ago, someone had given my mother some books to give away to friends. They were quilt books, embroidery books, etc. While going through these books, I found the following photos and information.
"Home at the ETO." written on the back.
Sgt. Clyde Merrill, Tulsa Oklahoma
Sgt. Melvin Gordon, Chicago, Illinois
Myself
1st Sgt. Hervey Thomas Bloomsburg, PA
American Military Cemetery Cambridge, England
Services for some of our Boys
In all these photos I wasn't able to figure out who "myself" is.
Back Safely - one of our ships returning from a mission.
The photos were returned to the person who gave mom the books. She said they didn't know they had these because they thought it was lost in the fire.
I couldn't let them go back without being able to document them. These are photos that are usually lost today. WWII was a hard time for everyone. Finding photos is what I have been doing. I want to know more about what my great Uncle went through. I know it was hard.
I give thanks to those who fought for our country.
