I would love to see it all! You mentioned France and the war, my grandmothers mom’s son was killed in France during the war. The government paid her way there to bury him. I used to have a copy of her passport and a picture of her by his tombstone. It was so sad . I believe my brother has all my pics and the passport. It was pretty interesting.
That's interesting to hear. I never knew the gov't paid passage to survivors of our war dead to go bury their own lost sons; I'd always assumed the military buried them. Sounds like a bigger story that needs to be told.
