Thank you for sharing your father-in-law’s story.
It is amazing the level of detail he could remember. I guess when your life is on the line, you tend to remember a lot of things.
In the beginning, when his wife drove away, and he walked toward his tent, after saying good-bye, they would increasingly separate and the distance between them would grow, by the moment, to thousands of miles, before they would re-unite.
Thousands of miles and years apart.
Can’t wait to read your mother-in-law’s impressions.
If any Freepers still have a WW2 vet alive in their families, now is the best time to record their experiences. They will not grace us with their presence much longer.
Thanks for reading my father-in-law’s story as well as putting the word out to record other memories.
