Edward J. Thomas - World War II

Two Letters to Ed Dear Eddie, Fri. May 14, 1943

I (Harry) mailed your subscription to the Detroit News. Rain has stopped as your tennis court has four inches of water. Ford Motors wanted your address, so I gave it to them. I have a new camera which I'm sure works better than yours. Pocket flashlight batteries are impossible to get in Detroit, but I will send as soon as I find some.

Dear Eddie, Fri. May 14

I sent you some underwear, candy and a flashlight. Are potatoes hard to get like they are in Detroit. I am having a hard time finding razors. I put the $40 you sent in your account. The horse meet man wants to use refrigerator in garage. Harry says no. Mom

Thanks WBRW TV ~ Washington, Michigan for interviewing me August 14, 2019. As mentioned in my video there are resources you can download, including this army pamphlet of games that soldiers could play.

Thanks WTXL Channel 27 ~ ABC Tallahassee, Florida for including my dad's cousin's Leonard Tomaszewski's D-Day account. If you want to hear more and read his story, start here: D-Day.

This website started as a living story of my uncle's service in World War II. I found some 200 plus letters in my late uncle's office he used to run his business after the war, and during his retirement. It was in 2008 that I asked my father (deceased last November 2011) if I could have the letters and look at. In the last eleven years I have painstakingly read, organized and put up this website, that I am proud of.
