General Notes: Husband -

During WWII, JRL served as a Lt with the Signal Corps as a Communications Officer. He served in Britain and Europe. The transport was aboard the Queen Elizabeth with British food but only 2 meals a day as there were 13,000 troops aboard. On D-day, JRL was in a Communications Center in rural England. When the war ended, he was in Germany. He was transferred to Bremerhaven(?sp) to await return to the states. He was to board a ship there, but could not board as there was a strike of the dock workers. While he was waiting, he joined a tour of Denmark on the verbal orders of the CG (wink, wink). His orders were then changed and he went via the back of a ragtop truck (6by?) to Marseille in southern France where he boarded a liberty ship that returned to New Jersey (or New York) (New York Harbor). From there, he traveled to Texas via train and on to Oklahoma via bus.

While he was stationed in Germany at the end of the war, JRL took and has pictures of concentration camps/work camps showing indescribably wasted human bodies.
