Near Panevėžys, Lithuania, 1942. Mr. Irene's paternal Great-Uncle, Uncle D—the brother of Mr. Irene's Grandmother Veronica—served in the Lithuanian Army during the years of independence (1918-1944). Many men of his generation had military careers.
Uncle D's uniform is identifiable because it has epaulets, and the Lithuanian coat of arms, the Vytis, is on the cap.
