This is one of my favorite pictures ever. It is a tender photo of my brother Grainger draped in our uncle Ryland Howard’s Army Air Corps jacket soon before he was deployed as an artillery spotter officer to the European Theater, where he would be killed in action in Normandy. Grainger was born on 7/23/1940. Uncle Ryland died July 7/4/1944, so my brother was likely 3 1/2. Uncle Ryland had been an attorney in civilian life. He was survived by his wife Edith Anson Howard and infant son Alfred Ryland Howard III born in 11/16/1944.
