This is lovely and so poignant. A touching  tribute to your uncle Thomas. It’s interesting to see the variety of letters and I like that the hand written one is central. The photographs have to be there, they are eye catching and well positioned, making the viewer want to take a closer look and then read. Yet again a great idea Christine, well done!

The combination of all the different elements is very powerful, Christine!  It is so important that we never forget the stories of those who sacrificed everything for us.  His smile is so very sweet and he does look like he would be a lovely person to know.  Thank you for sharing his story!

Robert Frank, a Jewish emigré from Germany to the US right after the war, who became one of the great photographic story-tellers of post-war America, gave this advice to all who would practice this art: If there is anything a good photograph should contain, it is the humanity of the moment. There is so much humanity in your photograph, and the story you gave us from your family's heart. Thank you.
