Photo Number 1050

This is another photo in a fancy folder from the antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota.

This photo was taken on May 6, 1945.  A day later than the previous photo.  The Army Air Corps fellow is in both photos.  I am not sure what branch of service the young lady is in.  Perhaps one of my readers will know.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

I found this old photo in a folder at an antique shop in Brainerd Minnesota.

The Persian Room was some fancy place for the Army Air Corps to meet the Navy.

May 5 1945..the war wouldn’t be over until September.

This is a snapshot of a service family.

Looks like they might have lived or were visiting 2209 Someplace Somewhere with their new baby and toddler.

As a former service wife..I can tell you that having your husband in the service is not easy.  It is hard for children too to have their Daddy away for holidays, birthdays and special days at school.  Sure the men and women in the service sacrifice a lot..but so do their families at home. ( Stepping off my soapbox now.)

Photo Number 1047

This is a photo that was stuck in the very first box of photos that I purchased three years ago.

I called it Military and a wall..but I now realize that the soldier is standing on top of a bunker.  It must have been taken overseas someplace.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again.

Remember to thank a soldier!

Armistice Day:

At the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 the guns were silenced and the “war to end all wars” was finally over after four years. The Armistice agreement was signed. The Allies claimed victory and Germany was defeated.  It was called Armistice Day for many years. After WWII it was changed to Veteran’s Day.

WWII ended on September 2, 1945..I hope this soldier made it home safely.

Photo Number 1045

Today we have a foreign postcard.  I purchased this Real Photo Postcard in Winnipeg last Autumn.

A photo from the late 1910’s or early 1920’s.  Everyone has a hat except for the little boy in the back.

Thanks for stopping by.  Do come again:)

Photo Number 1044

I have two photos..of brothers…I think.  I purchased these at the antique shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

 

On the lapel of their uniform are the initials CHS.  Neither photograph is marked.

CHS may signify Combat Health Support.

The CHS mission--to conserve the fighting strength-- dictates that patients be collected, triaged, treated, evacuated, and/or returned to duty as far forward as possible.

If anyone thinks differently..please leave a comment.

The photographer was Golling of St Paul Minnesota.  I found a Benjamin Golling who was in business for many years in St Paul Minnesota from 1900 to the 1950’s.
