WWII: Letters to and From a Young Soldier
Tuesday, November 7, 7pm
Professional genealogist Seema Kenney discovered over three hundred letters in her uncle’s attic which tell a compelling story of her uncle’s life as a young WWII soldier, as well as his family’s experiences back home. These letters document his service with the Fifth Army Headquarters, from registering at Fort Devens, training at two separate camps, then traveling overseas to Italy. He describes the work and the leisure, the rules, and the return trip. Letters from his family tell of their life at home during the war. Learn about or re-live the years 1943-45 as we travel through his time using the words of a 19-year-old country boy and his family!
