That said, the daughter did survive the war and your comment has given me further thought of researching in the local newspaper archives.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-67560879506407069472012-08-03T15:38:52.368+01:002012-08-03T15:38:52.368+01:00Well this was an interesting article.

The first definition I came across said it was a roll-up bug also known as a pillbox bug. I got a good laugh at the idea of one of those killing anyone. Further reading revealed to me that a doodlebug was also a small vehicle. Now that made more sense! Anyway, like Kristin, I'm glad to know that the daughter wasn't killed by a doodlebug after all. Thanks for sharing your family's story and participating in the COG!Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-39350062772134927102012-08-02T04:03:55.389+01:002012-08-02T04:03:55.389+01:00I'm glad to hear the daughter was not killed b...I'm glad to hear the daughter was not killed by a doodlebug after all!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.com
