Letter from 1918, Somewhere in France, WWI

 Often I find myself rescuing history from the landfill.  Although it often has zero relevance or significance to the family, I find it fascinating to hold a piece of history in my hand. 

Recently, I was at an estate sale and found a mourning shawl and headpiece. I recognized it from the early 1900s.  As I continued to sort through all the little keepsakes from the box, I came across this letter.

"Somewhere in France" 

In the same box of treasures, I found this picture. Made me wonder if this is "Old George" when he was a younger man.
