Charles Albert Kydd ” I thought Ruth might like the attached photo of my great uncle, the brother of my English grandmother (the one you met). Charles Albert Kydd was born in 1896. He went missing and I’ve also attached a document relating to this which I found in amongst my gran’s papers. Unfortunately I don’t know anything else – not even what regiment he was attached to.”
Thankfully he did
I hope you got the pictures of my favorite veterans – the first was my brother, Michael Cooper, who served in Vietnam in 1968 – Sue
survive the war and lived into old age!

Because my three brothers all served in WWII, I am a magnet for anything in print or on TV related to the WWII.My older brother flew three missions over France and Germany on D-Day and I have spent time since defining to my children exactly what D-Day was.

I can just imagine a whole book about each of the pictures and you can be sure there IS one! For those who don’t know my son Jonathan, he is now back to the States with his unit stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington.

I’m a day late with comment – but what an idea!!
Wonder if William Key knew Thomas Wells, my Uncle who also served in Italy 5th Army and was also an Officer??? He was born in 1906 so might have been a Major or Col.during WWll.
As soon as 10-10-10 came along I realized it would be 11-11-11 next year!! And the “Armistice” was signed at Rheims at 11AM. Grandfather serving in that war. I still have trouble remembering that the Holiday is now called Veterans’ Day!!!

Wonderful idea, Ruth! I have to see if we’ve any phtotos of Dad.

So wonderful to remember. I was glad to see my neighbor, Orv Lee, in a recent phooto. He loves to talk about his WWII experiences at CAB and we all love to listen. He is a true inspiration to us all. Few WWII vets around and we cherish Orv Lee.

I’m always bummed that my dad lives too far away to attend the Veteran’s Day events that my kids have at school…
