Somewhere Over Yugoslavia
/James was on a bombing run over Yugoslavia when his plane went missing. The Army dispatched this grave news via Western Union telegram. Brief and to the point, the telegram stated that James was missing. It is sobering the amount of information that the family had, and the waiting process that began before his fate would be known. As a culture with immediate answers to almost anything, it is incomprehensible that historically, people were left unknowing the fate of their loved ones.
The telegram was followed by the letter below. Again, giving grave news and leaving the family in the unknown.
