A World War II Story Through Sketches

Online
Experience a World War II story through Staff Sgt. Jacob John de Vries’ sketches of people, landscapes, and churches in France, Austria, and Germany in 1944-45. de Vries served in the US Army 103rd Infantry (Cactus) Division in Europe and First Allied Air Borne Army occupying forces in Berlin. Even before his formal art training, he was always sketching, including his four years in the Army. The storyteller is John’s daughter, Janet, who lives in Casper, Wyoming, and is retired from Casper College. This lecture includes photos from her travels to France to locate some of the sites her father sketched.
