Interested in resolving symbols used in ad from 1855. Looks like an open "x" and appears after "Bench" and again later on, although in the second pair, one looks like "cc". Is this short form for "etcetera" or "et al" Ad is at http://newhamburg.org/ads/1g.html JK

Wow, can I relate to all of this. My dad too was in Europe and it was something we did not discuss at home. My older brother was born in 1942 just before my dad went in the service. I think he saw my brother once before being deployed. My brother was nearly four when my dad came stateside. Their relationship has always been strained. War is a terrible thing, but for now we are still free.
