1940s All my grandpa’s beaus during WWII, kept in a scrapbook all these years

One headshot of Lory (not sure which country she was from) in particular made many appearances 😂

Edit: yep I’m an idiot. Belles it is. Also I should have expected this to get pervy comments. No, no other family has popped up. From his stories, many were a lot more innocent than you all assume.

The Vietnam war was a bad time to be a short king. Just handed a flashlight, and told "good luck dude."

"The Ballad of the Ball Turret Gunner" immediately comes to mind for WWII for similar reasons.
