My father in WW2 and some memoribilia

THE DREADED TELEGRAM

 

 

 

This was something that no one in the armed forces wanted to receive.   However,  many did and so did my mother.  I was going through my old memories of my family and I found this.  Mom always told me  she was one of the lucky ones.  Dad had  a piece of shrapnel embedded in his back.  Just a fraction away from severing his spine.  Impossible to remove it, so they said,  or he would be paralyzed  permanently.
