It would be interesting to know how your father reacted to his mother's intervention. A gunshot wound to the eye sounds a dreadful injury and yet your father overcame this to have a successful legal career.

In any event, there is an excellent novel about World War I: Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden.

Kudos to his mother for writing to bring his young age to the attention of the powers that be! Her son probably didn't appreciate it, but sometimes a Mom has to be tough!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
