By Stella Hall Zaleski
Along with Uncle Vern Hall, Nora Hall Lund and many others, cousin Stella, daughter of Merrill Hall was a history buff and wrote some interesting family stories. I will attempt to post more of her writings as they come up.
For now we'll be content to try to read these image pages, since I'm not going to re-type all this.
From the looks of it, the boys from Utah were smart and were put to work. Per Stella, on page 5, only Roland saw hand-to-hand combat as Willis got shot early on. And of course, Wendell in running a bull-dozer over there.
And in 1942 Grandpa was required to register for the draft. Imagine thinking you may have to go off to war when you're 50-years-old, you've still got kids at home, and you're watching your boys go to war.
