The History Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away

Thanks for the input and questions after part one of this story! I assume the "H" in the center of the needlework book cover is for my dad, Howard. Here is the back of the cover:

As for the "Three Musketiers," I have a group of photos:

The dates in November 1945 match with letters written from Wunsiedel and Waldsassen, Germany. During this period Dad was shipping home nailed crates of glassware to use for Christmas  and wedding presents in the future. Some of that glassware graces my dining room now.

What else was he doing? Staging small raids on small villages looking for evidence of weapons or black market activities. Playing ten different versions of solitaire. Going to  a nice beer hall in the center of town with a good four-piece band. Going a little mad after three years in the service. Wiring the florist in Norfolk, Nebraska to send hydrangeas "to the most wonderful mother in the world." And apparently walking around "our lake" at 5 p.m. with the "Three Musketiers."

On December 12, 1945,  Dad left for transfer to the 15th Tank Battalion attached to the 80th Infantry Division, the first step in his slow return to the States.
