Just found another trove of my dad's stuff

[GP6971]

11. About 10 years ago

my sister sent me box (along with other things) after our mother died. The box was unopened. When I finally got around to opening it, it contained letters, notes, pictures and some army correspondence about/from my uncle.

It was an eye opener...my uncle was a "ladder" soldier..up and down the ranks. Made Sergeant, got busted for fighting, back up the ladder and back down. When he was killed in the Brest campaign he was a private.

I've kept many things from my time in service. My wife keeps saying I need to get rid of stuff especially my steel helmet and LBE. Won't do it.
