My grandfather Harold Beaton was born April 1890 in Chicago, IL. He was a lawyer however he enlisted in the US Army Air Corps for WW1& retired as a Colonel in the 1940's - if memory serves properly, my grandfather was commander of more than several bases in the Philippines, California, Hawaii and in the [USA] south somewhere thus affording my dad and his gang of like aged army brats to get into all sorts of trouble. All the best, Heather Beaton
