This article, and others like it, appeared in The Hartwell Sun newspaper, of Hart County, Georgia. Published on 3 Aug 1945, this article lists 57 men, "the largest group of men to leave Hart County in months," who had just been drafted into the army. Included in this list is my Grandfather, Thomas Craft. He served in Germany as a truck driver and, thankfully, return home a year later.
