The database is scanned images of a computer printout made in 1946. Go to http://www.archives.gov/research_room/arc/index.html and scroll to World War II Army and Army Air Force Casualty List or World War II Navy Marine and Coast Guard Casualty List MY Memory: French Doll from World War II 5 March 2003 A French doll was sent to me by Mrs. GRABUSKI’s son, Leonard P. GRABUSKI from France. He was killed in the war. I believe he was in the Air Force. His mother lived at 321 W 7th Street & I lived with my grandmother Susan (McIntye) WEBBER & my parents at 317 W 7th Street, in Chester, Delaware Co., PA. I found this info: GRABUSKI Leonard P. 33505524 Sgt. KIA (Killed In Action) At the following website: http://www.archives.gov/research_room/arc/index.html On the tag, on the French Doll, it reads: Je m’appelle MAIE mon pays est Pont-Aven en Bretagne. There is a much smaller tag with numbers on it & it could be the price tag & serial number for the doll. My mother Helen (Bingler) WEBBER made Halloween customs for the three of us, (herself, me & my brother Bill), to be in Halloween Parades in Chester, Marcus Hook & Media, Delaware Co., PA. (c1952-1954) My mother being born in the Bronx was of course the “Statue of Liberty.” My brother Bill was “Uncle Sam.” And my custom was copied from the French Doll & I carried her in my hand in front of me as we walked in the parades. The crowds would always give us a standing ovation & we won prizes -- a bittersweet memory of man who gave his life for his country in World War II! Helen M. (Webber) Imburgia [email protected]
