Re: World War II
I have just found this thread due to your most recent post bringing it to the top of the board James. Please keep posting, it has to be the best thread on the whole of the site. I was interested to hear that your American wife was born and bred in Ohio. So was mine. The nearest town of any size to where she was born was Canton. I am somewhat younger than you, and being born in 1943 do not remember any of the war. I do remember my father coming home though early in 1946. He ended the war in Holland and made some Dutch friends who we went to visit in the summer of 1946. I still keep in touch with the lady (now in her late seventies) and her adult children to this day.
