Charles Everett Roseberry joined the United States Army in 1942 in
part because he was single whereas his brother, William Chester
Roseberry, was married. Charles served overseas in Africa, Italy,
France and Germany. William Roseberry was drafted into the Army in
1944 just months before the birth of his second son on D-Day.
William served in Italy in the North Appenines and Po River
campaigns.
Both brothers wrote regularly to their sister, Margaret
Roseberry Lawton of Radford, Virginia who saved their letters for
over 50 years before giving them to their children and
grandchildren. The letters are not descriptions of the war, which
would have been censored, but the concerns of two young men from a
small southwest Virginia town finding themselves overseas and away
from their families. Topics range from family matters to the
capture or deaths of friends and a recurring theme is each
brother's concern for the other.
