Excerpted from my mother's letter to my father dated 27 October 1943: "We got a letter from Aunt Florrie today, and also one from Horace, John's brother. He sent us two pictures -- one of himself and his wife, and the other of his wife and another girl . . . He is a nice looking fellow and wrote a good letter."

I think this is the "Cousin Johnnie" we have photos of from the 1940s. Two are military photos.
One family tree at ancestry says he died in 2005 at Chiltern, Buckinghamshire, England.
I found three individuals with the same name in the records; one died in 2002 and the other two died in 2005. I will need to confirm that this John actually is one who died in 2005.
