In-Between Days
This photograph of my maternal grandparents was taken in celebration of their engagement in early 1942. My grandfather had just returned from Tobruk, where as one of the famous "Rats of Tobruk" he had helped repel the German Afrika Corps for over eight months. He only had a short time back home before his next tour of duty - the infernal jungles of Papua New Guinea. While he would often tell us anecodatal stories of his time in the army, he never talked about the fighting.
