WWII PRESENTATION - LETTERS TO AND FROM A YOUNG SOLDIER

On Saturday, September 9th at 10 a.m at the former Unitarian Church, genealogist Seema Kenney joins us once again for this special presentation. Over three hundred letters found in her uncle’s attic tell a compelling story of his life as a young WWII soldier, as well as his family’s experiences back home.

These letters document his service with the Fifth Army Headquarters, from registering at Fort Devens, training at two separate camps, then traveling overseas to Italy. Learn about or re-live the years 1943-45 as we travel through his time using the words of a 19-year-old country boy and his family! Register now on the library website or by phone.
