MY GRANDFATHER
The guy on the right is my grandfather - Ray Bailey. When he was 17 he left his parents house to join the Army. He took a train to Sandpoint, Idaho where he was sworn in. He was later shipped over to Camp Casey on Whidbey Island in the state of Washington where he trained, then later went to England and France to fight in WW I. When he got back from the war he was an instructor at the University of Washington ROTC. He died in 1948 and is buried next to his parents graves in Park Rapids, Minnesota.
