My Grandfather, Dr. Herschel S. Burns was stationed in England during WWII. We have a small box of memorabilia from his time in the War, and I thought I'd share a few photos here…
Thank You to my grandfather and to ALL servicemen who have served in our military.. your service and sacrifice is appreciated beyond measure!
Some letters home, maps, newspaper and other memorabilia from WWII
Thanks to my aunt and cousins for these great photos!

What a wonderful post! Thank you for sharing and reminding us to honor all service men and women, past and present.
Such wonderful memories of family on this Veteran’s Day!
Thank you for sharing
SUCH A WONDERFUL SHARE OF YOUR FAMILY HISTORY; I THINK MOST FAMILIES HAVE WW1 OR WW11 STORIES TO TELL & MOST AREN’T HAPPY ONES; TFS!
What a great post! Thanks for sharing your history and wonderful photos! Loved this.
XOXOXOX
What a lovely tribute to your grandfather and all the other service men and women. Thanks for posting this.
What a wonderful tribute to your grandfather and all service men and women. Thanks for sharing some of your family history with us.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. My father was in England during the War with the First Infantry Division. He met and married my mother there and they both came back to the US about a year after the war ended. Those must be regular eyeglasses your grandfather is wearing, because they’re exactly the same as in pictures of my father. Blessings to all who served, on the front and on the homefront.
This was beautiful.
