ReplyDeleteWhat a poignant image!
ReplyDeleteI do hope he was "having a nice time" in Georgia, as that was likely to not be the case when he was sent overseas....
ReplyDeleteSo many perished in that dreadful war, not that any war is anything other than dreadful.
ReplyDeleteWe don't often look at the total number of casualties. Usually, it's just Americans who died, but , of course, what really matters is the total number. In World War I, 8.5 million people were killed and over 21 million injured, but this doesn't count the 7.75 million who were POW and missing.
