  I've been in this mill many times to work. It's just down the road from me. My grandfather worked there during the war in place of my great-uncle (his brother) who flew a B-24. When the war ended by grandpa got the boot and his brother had been killed in the Pacific. War is hell and so is the after-peace sometimes.
