"V-Home" The Defense Council honored households that contributed to the war effort through the purchase of War Bonds, preparing for air raids, donated to salvage drives and had Victory Gardens. These placards were proudly displayed on homes.
1942 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Production of Harley-Davidson consumer motorcycles was suspended during the war. Only Military motorcycles were produced. Outfitted and built to suit the war terrain and rider needs, including a case for a Thompson sub-machine gun.
Missing their Harley-Davidson back home. Many a rider missed their machines back home and thought of the day when they were reunited with them. If coming home meant a new Harley-Davidson, little did they know the test of endurance HD's encountered as a vital machine in the war and eventually this knowledge was utilized in later models sold to consumers.
Field Rations The US Army Field Ration D (D ration or "D Bar"), developed by the Quartermaster Corps, was intended exclusively for survival. It contained three 4-ounce bars of thick, high-calorie chocolate. The bar developed in 1937 with the intent that it not taste too good, for fear the men would consume it rather than carry it until an emergency arose. Hershey, the manufacturer of the bar was given a certain criteria...a bar weighing about four ounces, able to withstand high temperatures, high in food energy value, and tasting just a little better than a boiled potato.
Typical Kitchen back home during the WW II. Dick Maurer's 6' 4" frame demonstrates the size of the typical refrigerator. America experienced food shortages during the war and each family member was issued a food rationing stamp book.
Military Uniforms of the war "Olive Drab" uniforms were made of wools. Made with the intent to 'layer' clothing as the season and region called for. Material to make uniforms became scare and at times it would be a year after manufacturing before they reached the military.
B-17 Bomber-"Flying Fortress" From its prewar inception this bomber was promoted as a strategic weapon; it was a relatively fast, high-flying, long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament at the expense of bombload. It developed a reputation for toughness based upon stories and photos of badly damaged B-17s safely returning to base.

Welcome to Bank of England Mortgage

You need someone on your side when you’re buying a home. Who makes sure you aren’t doing paperwork you don’t have to do. Who speeds up some of the steps you can’t avoid. You need a “blocker,” clearing the way of obstacles as you head toward your goal.

That’s where I come in! Welcome to Bank of England Mortgage where I make the process of applying for, getting approved for and closing a mortgage loan simpler and easier than you ever imagined. At Bank of England Mortgage, we are literally ‘here’ with you every step of the way. We do not send your information to another State or time zone to be ‘processed’ in some cubicle farm by someone sitting at a computer screen. It all happens right here, in our office, where we have complete control of it. Start to finish, your loan never leaves our office.

For over 30 years I have been teaming up with home buyers and their real estate professionals to make sure the process goes as smoothly and quickly as possible. After you’ve found your new home is when you need us the most. That’s when all the real work begins. The paper work really comes rushing at you. There are appraisals, preliminary title reports, inspections, escrow requirements and many other details to be dealt with. I work closely with your agent to ensure that you have the very best team working on your behalf.
