He was 19ish.
His pride and joy was a white stallion that he helped birth. It was his stallion and they stole it.
His next job was an American soldier in WWI along with his brother. (both built like line backers.) Don’t know how his parents got their kids out of Russia so fast. ( I do know I owe them big time.)
His parents died in a few years after the revolution. (I suspected starved to death.)
They had farm land close to Kiev.
Have an army tin plate my Gramps carved in WWI.
It says Camp Shateau Baleonjre. May 26, 1919.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks for sharing the info on your grandfather who grew up in the Ukraine. Did the parents of your grandfather and his brother have to stay in Ukraine? Must have sent their kids to America to stay with relatives?
