What a small world indeed!----that's exactly (as far as I know) what dad did.....in one of his wartime letters, he mentioned being a guard on the supply trains...
..and he had a funny story about a monkey stealing things on the train.
Thanks for this wonderful information.....they might very well have known each other.
Dad also spent some time in the mountain hospital after eating a macaroon cookie from a street vender (they were told not to)...and getting a horrible case of dysentery.
To this day, he will not touch a macaroon cookie.
Dad mentioned monkeys on the trains, too!! We were little and I know he added that for our amusement.
And Dad got dysentary, too. I think most of them did.
Thanks so much. I’d bet they did know each other.
Did your dad ever mention Mules used for packing equipment?
God bless them all.
