Marion. I tried to post my dads diary but the pages are to big to download if you or another member has an ancestry membership or starts a free trial, you can run a search ffor Russell A Caulkins born 1907 Knoxville Iowa the diary and pictures a posted there under public access. Tom

Can you post a direct link if possible? Or you can email me the doc and I can upload it the server.

Sorry, was away for eight or nine days...

I have downloaded all the photos you sent and will convert to PDF, however, the names associated with the files are not sequential, so I have no idea on how to put them back together. For instance, one is named scan 8, another is named Sugar.... and the rest are named combat, followed by a number. However, it gets confusing, for one is named combat 000, combat 00, etc. I really need your help with this. Sigh!

I am trying to go back to the original emails you sent (still have them) and will try and match them up. I will let you know.

Okay I think I got it, but one page I wasn't sure where to put it. Look at this and let me know where the last page should go.

Hi: I still have to move that one page within the pdf. Promise I will get to it.

Oh, saw you thank you, but it was posted under my documentary section "my published articles", so I am moving your quote here and deleting the post.

Thank you for posting my dads diary. I hope people enjoy it and understand a little more what vets went through during the war. Tom Caulkins

You are very welcome.

Thank you for your great generosity! And Thank You Marion!
