From the rising swells of the Atlantic, to the halls of the teaching hospital, to the front lines of the 45th Infantry Division in World War II, Joseph Garland has brought his first-hand experience to his literature throughout his life.
His most recent work, "Unknown Soldiers: Reliving WWII in Europe," is a memoir decades in the making and has been met with nationwide acclaim from veterans and history enthusiasts alike.
