I believe there is a lengthy newspaper article on Harold's escape in North Africa.42Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655107378533032598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434477530324506826.post-53749940506312779232014-05-16T16:46:28.569-05:002014-05-16T16:46:28.569-05:00Orian Owens was a cousin of mine.

Once my dad and I went with Harold to Lime Springs in his Model A Ford converted pickup. Harold never mentioned anything about Orian or World War II. Later, I discovered that he was captured in Tunisia and held as a prisoner of war by the Germans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434477530324506826.post-32899555245436780122012-07-28T08:36:09.886-05:002012-07-28T08:36:09.886-05:00I have just written about this terrible day, April...I have just written about this terrible day, April 22, 1944.
