Our World War II Experience

In this personal recollection for her family, Betty Arrington recounts the experiences that she and her husband, Mark, had during World War II, complete with pictures from the time. Mark served in the Sixth Field Artillery of the US Army during the war, and Betty recalls how the men he served with seemed like brothers by the end. She explains what life was like for her during a time when everything was rationed, from meat to fruit to shoes! Through it all, she expresses gratitude that she and Mark were never too far apart and gives God the glory for the victory over the Nazis.

This account has been transcribed from audiotapes made by Betty Arrington in the mid-1990s.
