In addition to my grandfather and the great-uncles I've previously mentioned, another of my father's uncles also served in World War II. Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about his service. I think he served in Africa and Italy, and I also think he served in a support role (such as motor pool maintenance or some other position behind the lines). But I don't know for sure. Like so many veterans of that war, he doesn't talk about the war and his part in it. I don't know him well enough to feel comfortable asking him about it, and I'm not sure who would be the best person to approach about this. I'll have to think about it.
My project to produce a new edition of the book by my ex-POW great-uncle about his wartime experiences has taken a big step forward. I met with his daughter over the weekend, and she gave me another copy of the book (since I can't find mine), so I've started re-typing the text. My uncle's widow contacted her and she's excited about the idea, so I have permission from both his widow and daughter. They are going to gather up the original pictures and documents used to produce the original edition and send them to me so I can do high-quality scans for this new edition. If they can get that done soon, I should be able to pull all the material together and get it formatted for publication by the end of the summer.
