Watercolor reaches family

Sometime ago I posted a copy of a watercolor to the James Wykle internet funeral memorial page. The watercolor is titled: "Sgt. Wykle from Minden, West Virginia resting on hills of Saipan, Circa July 4, 1944" It is a watercolor painted by my Uncle, Sgt. Theo Hios, now in the permanent art collection at The National Museum of the Marine Corps. Subsequently, her daughter found my facebook presence and thanked me to remembering her father. I replied in kind by providing her with a higher resolution copy for her family, and she responded in kind by providing some photographs of Sgt. Wykle for the War Paint project. Volume One of War Paint was already released. But this new material is just in time for insertion into Volume Two, Saipan.
