I can only image what my grandmother felt or went through, as Uncle William came home from the war. He was a ranger and experienced many things and injuries.
Aunt Freeda has letters he wrote home, detailing the events of the day during war and of his experiences. Aunt Freeda during a reunion, one nite , read us many letters. An experience I will cherish dearly.
