This photo of a man in a fox hole in an unknown war, is photographed in black and white, as was commonly done in World War II. I wanted a picture which would show the fox hole from the inside. But I did not find any. This photograph is from John Caddell’s blog at caddellinsightgroupdotcom.
This poem, Fox Hole, by Regena Larrabee Seehausen is very descriptive of what many who are caught up in wars experience, sometimes in a fox hole. Regena Larrabee Seehausen was an army nurse in World War II.
A description of some aspects of fox hole life in World War II by John Sommer, Company F 397th Infantry Regiment, written from contemporaneous notes and other information found later. He was 80 years old at the time of his writing. He must have been 20 years old in 1944. His e-book is entitled Retrospective View From a WWII Foxhole, and is available online.
We honor all those who died in war and its service. We honor all those who died in any service, and all those whom we want to remember.
