In 1924, in the year that Alma Lansford was born, in May, wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb kidnapped and killed 14 year old Robert Franks "in the interest of science".

They were brought in for questioning within 8 days and quickly confessed. Clarence Darrow was hired as their defense lawyer, getting them life imprisonment instead of a death sentence. Loeb was eventually killed in prison - Leopold was released after 33 years, dying of a heart attack at age 66.

D-Day World War II: June 6th 1944
With Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 World War 2 began. The United States didn't enter the war until 1941 when Germany's ally Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The war was challenging not only on the military, but also for civilians. Incessant bombing of cities like The Blitz on London and other cities in Great Britain lasted around 8 months, every night, all night long. Rationing of foodstuffs and other goods needed for the war effort, victory gardens, nights spent in the Tube, blackouts, and sending your children to the countryside for safety. By 1944, the need to end the many years' long war became desperate. And so came D-day in 1944 - a plan to reclaim occupied ally France from the Nazis and to gain a platform from which to invade, and destroy, Nazism in Germany.

Armistice Day: The End of World War 1
On the 11th day of the 11th month at 11am in 1918, an armistice was signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany in Compiègne, France. The Armistice ended hostilities on the Western Front of the War and led to the Treaty of Versailles, officially ending World War 1 in 1919. During the 4 years of active fighting, more than 70 million soldiers, including 60 million Europeans, were involved - making it one of the largest wars in history. About 9 million soldiers and 7 million civilians were killed in the war. Still known as Armistice Day around the world, the day was re-named "Veterans Day" in the U.S. in 1954. Veterans of all wars are honored - living and dead. These family owned photos celebrate the heroes of WW1 from all over the world.
