Here's some conversation starters:

When and where did your ancestor serve?

Did they see action or were they part of the support effort?

Did the women in your family serve in the military, work in factories, run businesses or farms single-handedly, or nurse during war?

Any surprises?

Did you get any info from an unexpected source?

Tips in using Fold3 or applying for information from the National Archives.

Do you have any wartime correspondence that can be shared?
