My Grandfather

was admitted to a U.S. National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers as a casuality of war. He was admitted to the home in Milwaukee periodically from 1931 thru 1935. I learned at age forty-six he was five feet nine inches tall; grey eyes; grey hair. I am so thrilled to see his name in print.
