1. Based on a Facebook post from Manuel Monserrate, who wrote: "I found two letters between him and my uncle, 1943, with direction of 1 1/2 baker street (Saranac Lake) and a photo of Alfred. I think his parents are Clara and Frank. He then tells them that they are okay, and invites you to spend a few days at home. At first I thought they had served together in the army, but my uncle was in Special Service Unit, but I'm not sure about Alfred."
