Photo 2. Dan Lamey visiting his brother's grave. I assume my father visited Rannie's grave after WW II ended in 1945. Perhaps the summer as he is in his shirtsleeves. There were just the wooden crosses at that time. Gravestones went in later. Dad came home in early 1946. I understand Rannie was killed just 5 miles from where my father was stationed in September 1944. -

Photo 3 Dan Lamey visiting his brother's grave. This is a long view of my father at Rannie's grave. And of how the cemetery looked in summer 1945. There were just the wooden crosses at that time. Gravestones went in later. Dad came home in early 1946. I understand Rannie was killed just 5 miles from where my father was stationed in September 1944. -

My father Dan Lamey at the grave of his brother Rannie. Dad is wearing a heavy coat here. He returned from overseas so perhaps this is winter 1945-46 just before he a sailed home. Or the winter of 44-45 after Rannie was killed. -
