I never knew the details. But my dad had been sending money home to his famly. When he got home after the war at least some, if not all had been spent. It caused some friction between my dad and grandfather. But to be fair with the depression, war and 3 little sisters at home I'm sure my grandparents were struggling. Especially without their only son to help on the farm. One of my dads sisters was in her late teens, the other 2 just toddlers when he left.
Probably why dad never lived at home after the war and didn't continue the family farm. I was born in 1958, around 1960 my grandparents came to Georgia to visit from Kentucky. My grandfather repaid the money in full. This would have been about 14 years after the war.
I never knew any of this until after dad died 2 years ago.
