On January 20, 2013 I published a brief post here at The Prism about the World War I service of my maternal grandfather, Everett Shearman Carpenter (1891 - 1962). Since that post in January 2013, I have discovered that among some old and unexamined documents gifted to me by my Aunt Roberta, the widow of my mother's brother -- David Otis Carpenter -- is the original World War I discharge paper for my grandfather. The front and reverse sides of the discharge document are now shown immediately below.
