Another rural area. Whenever we get bad weather in the winter, it seems like it's always Sussex, Warren and Hunderton counties.

I found some of my dad's old papers. I found a little New Testament book of Psalms and in it is his social and service number. He must have joined right after Pearl Harbor because it shows it was given to him by the chaplain in Jan of '42.
I'm going to upload a couple of images. One is a picture of him at work and the other is a letter from Eisenhower announcing the end of the war in Europe.

This is a picture of a pamphlet I found. It's a short review of how far the 8th came from the beginning of the war. In the back is a little note on how to keep your guns from freezing.
