Publisher's Synopsis
Charles Harwood was in the first group of American soldiers to arrive in France with the 1stAmerican Expeditionary Force in June 1917. In 1945 his son-in-law Robert Holmes returned from World War II having served with the 1st Division 26th Infantry Regiment in the Battle of the Bulge and in Germany. Robert wrote of Charles 'I learned little of his military adventures until after my return from war. Afterwards, the void that often occurs between father and son-in-law diminished to a point that was downright friendly. Then and now, I regret that in our conversations we had not fully discussed people, places and events as carefully as we might have.' Now their stories are open for all to read.
