Uncle Sam Wants You, George

Imagine my shock at opening up an old envelope and finding this:

Like everything else, it was hidden away in a box filled with file folders, old receipts, and old letters. There were some photos as well, such as this one of George (on the left) and another soldier in France, 1918. Gramma Myers was good at labeling most of her photos. George Winthrop Bradford was her favorite brother. They both played rag time piano music and loved literature and poetry. 

I have George's WWI uniform jacket and a lot of his old books, including Walden and The Canterbury Tales. He wrote a small book of poetry, too, called "Wayside Lyrics". It's available online at https://archive.org/details/waysidelyrics00brad.
