First To Fall

"First To Fall" is the story of one spirit lost in the maelstrom of World War II. This biography chronicles William Edward Cramsie's strong Irish values, his dedication as a West Point cadet and his heroic service with the 416th Bomb Group. In searching for facts about Cramsie's life, and his tragic death, it was my good fortune to meet and bond with many people whose paths would otherwise never have crossed mine. This blog is about that path of discovery. -- Wayne G. Sayles
