Brosky, circa 1935-2012

3 boxes

Abstract Or Scope: George S. Brosky served as a quartermaster on the USS PCE-897 in the Pacific Theater (PTO), including Guam. Brosky trained in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Sampson, New York. The George Brosky collection is an excellent example of an average family's World War II experience. The Brosky family was based out of Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Of the four sons, three ended up serving in the Army (including John), George served in the Navy, and the youngest, Vernon, joined the Army Air Corps at the end of the war. Although most of the family members are included in this collection, the bulk of the letters are from Mrs. Rose Brosky (the mother) to her son George. The only drawback is that Mrs. Brosky wrote in Polish to her son. Also, see his brother John's collection, which contains letters to George from others, including their mother, whose letters are in Polish. All in all, the George S. Brosky collection represents a Polish-American family who not only gives a taste of the usual war experience, but also gives a good idea of the Home Front during the years of the World War II.
