Jack's Son Posted July 14, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 14, 2011 One soldier's personal history written in a case, stashed in a drawer until his death no doubt. This had to be an important part of his life, now given to history.....to what end, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
