This is my Mothers brother Thomas Boland. we called him Tim and he was in hawaii in the second World War. He lied about his age in order to serve in the 1st, war also.
I made Eddie put his uniform on for me. He was in the Army Air Force as a Medic.
There is a star in the window showing that someones son or daughter was serving in the war but I am not sure where this picture of my Mom was taken.
