Hundreds of others have brothers and sisters or grandsons on the service rolls; and near relatives just outside the family circle give nearly all the rest of our 3097 men and 450 women workers their personal interest in each day's news from the front.    The pictures below are also from Cotton Chats, July 1943.                  War Stories Menu                HOME
