I have 2 WW2 ancestors who got married in Europe when the war ended. One soldier married a German ,the other and English lady. The English war bride was in the Royal Air Force at the time and they met coincidentally while walking out by themselves one night. She was raised by her grandmother as she lost her parents at a young age. Her aunt used all the ration sugar she had saved up to make them a wedding cake. Both couples had happily ever after marriages
Nice job, and a wonderful, human interest topic from a special time in history. I have to wonder if any of your grandmothers or great grandmothers were War Bides? Too bad they didn't have the Internet back then. They could have tried to get the available European men matched up with the available American women! Especially hard hit I suppose would have been the American women since so many men were lost in the war, while others brought home their European brides.. (Which reminds me of an old song .."He was on the morning side of the mountain, and she was on the twilight side of the hill"! )
Can’t stop American men from laying pipe all over earth.
