Publisher's Synopsis
MOSES F. STEWART enlisted in the US Army on Christmas Eve of 1943. A married man and father of two, he was 36 years old, which led the other soldiers to call him "The Old Man." While providing reinforcement to troops in England and France, he was fortunate to serve without undue hardship. His photos of VE Day in Paris are as vivid as his prose, and his letters reveal a sensitive, intelligent man of strong character who resists the temptation to go home "before the job is done." Sergeant Stewart takes us along on his tour of duty in this charming collection of letters and photos compiled by two of his daughters, writer Sandra London Stewart & photographer Lynn Stewart Ivory.
