Day 4
My great-uncle had a carton he'd saved from World War II. It looked much like this one.
I know…the sheer randomness of my images. There’s a story here, I promise. My great-uncle was a prisoner of war in World War II. The stories he told were horrific. Every prisoner was starved to the point of near death. He said a woman, a young woman saved his life. She was the daughter of the camp’s CO. In pity she gave him the “juice from the rice” and by that alone he lived. I’ll leave the story there, as there wasn’t a happy ending. He was rescued. That is all I’ll say. What he did say, however, was the first thing he was given when he got aboard ship was milk. He kept the image with him, torn from the powdered milk container. LOL. He said no one would ever tell him what to eat or how to eat again. The image is so like the one here. Random day over. More fun stuff tomorrow!
