Harold A. Streed

 

 

 

 

Grows Up—Though many of today’s soldiers played at war as boys, the mother of Harold A. Streed of Middletown is one of the few who can show photographs of their sons in the garb of two wars.  In the upper picture, Streed, 3 years old, is shown wearing equipment  of a relative just back from the first World War.  The lower picture shows Streed today at Kessler field, Miss., where he is a real soldier of the second World War.
