Mothers desperately seeking information on what happened to their sons in World War I. I wonder if any of them ever got closure. I really hope they did.
In lighter news here’s a bit of sports, advice, gossip and film:
You’ll recognize the name Billie Burke – she was Glinda in The Wizard of Oz.
A fascinating glance into 1922!
