I agree, my dad was a a merchant seaman before joining the National Guard in 1940. One of the things I found in his wallet was his union dues book from that time. I guess he was an old man at age 21. What I like about what I have found (Especially the Po River Bridge book) is that it calls out the names of the Soldiers who did the work not just the Commanders. Will continue to refine my scanning so it does not cut off anything.
