My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

A New Supply of Surgical Dressings in Malta in 1944
From the February 20, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Mrs. Hallie Elliott of Malta has received a new supply of surgical dressings to be folded for the Red Cross. The classes, which have not met for the past few sessions will meet again at the Malta Township Library."
