This week's Sepia Saturday theme is more or less to choose a picture that is worth a thousand words (or somebody on the campaign trail by train). I chose the first part. This is my attempt, and of course, I couldn't stop at just one. My late father-in-law, Troy Matthews, was a Navy See-bee during WW2, and was stationed in Guam. Here are a couple of photos from his collection that depict village life when Troy was there. Some of the photos were probably taken by him, others by the guys he was with, and some may have been bought in the village.
