Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors

Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?

What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.

Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.

I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!

Nothing's Wrong with Dale: Part Twenty-One

It’s been a week, but you’re fairly certain your fiancé accidentally got himself replaced by an eldritch being from the Depths. Deciding that he’s certainly not worse than your original fiancé, you endeavor to keep the engagement and his new non-human state to yourself.

However, this might prove harder than you originally thought.

Fantasy, arranged marriage, malemonsterxfemalereader, M/F

AO3: Nothing's Wrong with Dale Chapter 21

[Part One][Part Two] [Part Three] [Part Four] [Part Five] [Part Six] [Part Seven] [Part Seven.5] [Part Eight] [Part Nine] [Part Ten] [Part Eleven] [Part Twelve] [Part Thirteen] [Part Fourteen] [Part Fifteen] [Part Sixteen] [Part Seventeen] [Part Eighteen] [Part Nineteen] [Part Twenty] Part Twenty-One [Part Twenty-Two] [Part Twenty-Three][Part Twenty-Four] [Part Twenty-Five] [Part Twenty-Six] [Part Twenty-Seven] [Part Twenty-Eight] [Part Twenty-Nine] [Part Thirty] [Part Thirty-One] [Part Thirty-Two] [Part Thirty-Three] [Part Thirty-Four]

You barely contain a sigh of relief as you sit down next to Grandmother.

Perhaps yesterday’s gala’s events were more mentally taxing as you tried to keep Dale’s hands out of sight long enough for the detection colors from Dr. Louisa’s gloves to fade—not to mention the conversation preceding that mess—but today was tiring in an entirely different manner. You’ve been kept on your feet nearly the entire day and you are exhausted. Between inspecting various buildings all over the city for hours to start with and an evening spent dancing, you want nothing more than to be still.

Some of that sentiment must still be evident from your facial expression as Grandmother reaches over to pat your hand. “Have you been enjoying the dancing, dear?”

“Yes, Grandmother, but I believe I am finished for the night,” you reply and she smiles.

“I am glad you have been taking advantage of the vigors of youth while you have them,” Grandmother says. She looks over to where Grandfather is sitting and talking to a musician across the room. “Would that we were able to still dance as you do. Alas, all we have to show for our years are aching joints and lovely children.” She winks at you.

You smile back and gratefully accept the water glass your maid pours for you with a murmured thanks. While you rest, Grandmother bids good night to a number of said children and grandchildren, leaving you longing to follow them. Yours and Dale’s roles as the guests of honor make it unclear when exactly it is socially acceptable for you to depart. You’ve often been staying at least as long as Grandmother and Grandfather, if not an hour beyond them so as to ensure you spoke to all guests and showed your hosts proper respect.

You truly hope that will not be the case tonight because you’re not sure you’ll make it that late.

Dale joins you with Francesca and Charles, his cousins, who then depart themselves having sent their children up with a maid hours ago. Dale sits next to you but talks primarily with Grandmother, chatting about the others he’s been speaking to while you resist the urge to fall asleep in your chair.

A few moments later Dale says your name, rousing you. Straightening, you find you’ve indeed ended up leaning quite heavily against the back and side of your chair closest to him. Heat warms your face at practically falling asleep against Dale at a gala. “Yes?”

“Do you wish to retire for the evening?” Dale asks, his expression kind and nonjudgmental. You can hear the offer to retire as well and are grateful for it.

“I know that it is not as late as some nights have been,” you say, unable to keep from feeling somewhat defensive—after all it wasn’t even midnight yet, though it was close. “But it has been a long day. I am ready for sleep.”

“I agree,” Dale replies easily, he reaches down and squeezes your hand where it sits on the arm rest closest to him. “And we have plenty of errands to run tomorrow.”

He’s right. There are no balls or galas tomorrow. Instead you’ll be taking advantage of the time in the city to inspect the progress on the completion of various wedding clothing, decorations, food and so on to be sent on ahead to the estate. In fact, the only social event is a small dinner at the mayor’s home in the evening which is fine with you.

Besides, there’s another reason you want to be well rested for tomorrow. That had been the day marked “SECRETS” on the astrologer’s calendar. You still have no notion as to what that could mean, however, you do expect that you should be well rested for whatever it turns out to be.

“If you young ones are all already turning in, then I shall too,” Grandmother announces. “Dale, your aid, my boy.”

Dale is nearly already standing up to walk over to his Grandmother’s side, picking up her cane along with his own. You try to perk up enough to be helpful, finishing off your drink and supporting Grandmother’s other arm as she gets to her feet.

Grandmother’s maid is sent ahead to prepare her rooms, while the three of you, in addition to your own maid, begin to make your way to the guest quarters you’ve occupied this week in the Governor’s home. You’re grateful he’s allowed you to have an entire, if smaller, wing to yourselves. Such privacy means that any continuing festivities don’t upset your sleep, which given how busy these days have been, is critical.

You’ve made it halfway across the room when Grandfather walks over to you at a pace too quick for how tiring a day this has been, even if he hasn’t danced as much as you have. “Dale, there you are,” he looks triumphant as he continues, “Marquis Tiffin has finally stopped occupying Duke Yoral’s sole attention. You wished to speak to him, did you not?”

Dale’s eyes light up—only metaphorically—before he turns to you and Grandmother. “I did, however…”

“If you wish to stay, dear, do not let us steal you away too soon,” Grandmother says. “You’re a good lad, wanting to accompany me back to my rooms, but your fiance will be help enough. Enjoy yourself.”

“Yes,” you encourage him. “I know you had been attempting to talk to him all evening.” This Duke was the brother of a friend of his from abroad and he wanted to discuss sourcing certain ingredients for more foreign meals with him, in addition to comparing general travel stories as he had helped Dale’s group plan their trip.

“Thank you,” Dale replies with a grin at you both. After resettling Grandmother’s hold to your arm instead of his, he turns to Grandfather, “Are you sure you want to join us? Perhaps even the discussion of certain spices might cause your cough to come back.”

Grandfather elbows Dale in response to his teasing, “Impudent lad. Introduce me to your friend with all due respect and perhaps I shall refrain from sharing tales of your foolish youth.”

They leave in a cheery mood while Grandmother smiles after them. “I am so pleased to have Dale home where he belongs. He went through such a trying adolescence after being away at the capital.”

You hum noncommittally, but Grandmother needs no real prompting to continue to reminisce as you make your way through the quieter and cooler halls away from the main ballrooms. She only interrupts herself when you reach a large branching path before your wing. “Miss Adir, could you please go to the kitchens and see if there are any pasties that can be sent up to my granddaughter’s rooms?”

“Yes, my Lady.”

“Thank you, Grandmother.”

“My eyesight might be going, but I can still make observations. You never eat enough at these events, she fusses. “We shall have to have your measurements checked at the final fitting tomorrow.”

“The food at these events are so rich,” you protest. “Surely there hasn’t been such a difference in only a few weeks.”

“And still we shall verify the truth,” Grandmother insists. “Dale as well, though for the opposite eventuality. I informed those tailors of his ill state, reminding them to leave room for him to return to his healthier weight. I shall be interested in seeing if they listened.

“If there is anything else that needs doing, we must ensure that it is done tomorrow or our next free day in two days time. This is our last week in Connton before we return to the Northridge estate for your wedding,” Grandmother reminded you unnecessarily. “Only two more galas here. A pity, these have been so invigorating.”

You can’t help but shake your head silently to yourself, unable to find these events anything but exhausting, even if you enjoy aspects of them. Grandmother is an entirely different sort, seeming to be rejuvenated by so much activity and people.

Even now, she seems far more awake than you are, easily chatting while you feel as though you’ve used up all your words an hour ago.

You roll your shoulders, trying to dissipate the tension in them from so much activity—the danger of hosting a ball and inviting a dance troupe and their sponsors. The fewer candles and torches in this area of the house leave the light sparser and make you feel sleepier, makes the promise of slumber whisper more convincingly in your ears.

Still, you remember exactly what tips you off that something is wrong.

Habit from these last few weeks has you watching every shadow and steering others away if they move oddly, in case Dale has a lapse in control. You’re only reacting on instinct when you see the candlelight flicker dramatically, the shadows pool unnaturally on Grandmother’s right. You pull Grandmother closer to you and quicken your step abruptly, wanting to get out of the way, not wanting her to notice.

It’s the clash of metal the next second, the force and crack of something whizzing by both of you and into the opposite wall that makes you jump, heart hammering in your chest. Your mind catches up with your actions because Dale is nowhere in sight. Who is causing these things to happen? Are you under attack?

“Guards!” Grandmother calls out. Her voice rings through the space with all the command of a general on a battlefield and causes one of the people who are in fact attacking you to curse.

There isn’t any way for you to tell if someone heard your call for help even as she repeats it. Without thinking about what to do next, you hitch up your skirts with your free hand and start to run down the hall with her in tow. More figures come after you from behind and out of the corners of your eyes.

A wordless cry has you stumbling to the side as a person overshoots past you and through a doorway. Multiple people, at least three, dressed in dark clothing have come as suddenly as if they had materialized from nothing—all heading after you.

You dodge another projectile and turn the corner, flattening against the far wall. Frantically you try to remember where exactly you are in this stranger’s house and you realize you missed the turn back towards the more inhabited portion of the building in your haste.

You don’t know what to do, paralyzed with fear and indecision, until the wall at your back falls away causing you to take a surprised step backwards. “Hurry,” Grandmother says, having realized you were backed against a door and gotten it open while your mind had still been trying to understand what was happening.

You turn and both go through, slamming the door behind you as you try to gain your bearings. You can barely take stock of the study you find yourself in before continuing forward as fast as you are able to. Your shoes are thin and pretty and so you feel the stone floor in this room harshly as you race across it. Your palm is sweaty from where it’s clutching Grandmother’s as you steer you both, her having lost her cane at some point and relying on you for that speed of movement you’re desperately trying to gain.

Adrenaline courses through your veins, every instinct attempting to help you to survive, for all the good it's doing. Your mind races wildly, thoughts of escape and who these people could be flickering through. Why are they attacking you? What do they want? Where can you go to get away?

Then all you can think of besides ‘get away’ is the ache in your arm, the burning in your lungs, the soreness in your feet.

Unfortunately, there was no way to lock the door you came through and so soon it’s quickly kicked back open. The sound of it hitting the wall makes you run faster, trying to get through this suite of rooms to the courtyard entrance you spot on the other side, where you can feel the cooling breeze beckoning you to escape—or get somewhere someone would be able to hear you.

Two arrows fly by your head and another causes Grandmother to yelp and falter, nearly tripping as she suddenly leans much heavier on you. You can’t check to see if the arrow grazed her, too focused on trying to get to the other door, when the shadows darken in those billowing curtains. At the last second you turn to the right, propelling Grandmother that way too. As you do so, you see the thinner of these, these assassins appear, daggers drawn and ready to impale you exactly where you’d been running too.

Not that you’re convinced you’ve managed to end up in a better position. You steered the two of you to the other side of the room, hopping for another door out, but the one you pull open in the end is only a closet. You whirl around to see four figures in black, fanned out and blocking any possible escape route. Panting, you brace Grandmother, who you haven’t looked to but sounds to be in worse shape given her age and possible injury. Her heavy breathing has a wheeze to it you don’t like. So does the fact that she’s not speaking up any more.

“Well now ladies,” the tallest man speaks, his voice low and condescending. He’s smug too, like the cat that got the mouse, as he steps forward twirling a dagger. “You don’t seem to have our prize stallion with you as we expected, but I’m certain his filly and granny will make perfect bait.”

5. The Magic of Giving

The beauty of Christmas lies in its blend of cherished traditions and bonding with dear ones. Hold these moments close to your heart, for they're the true treasures of the season.

On a humorous note, this quote reminds adults to believe in miracles and wishes that Christmas affords. Let the childlike innocence in us savor the wonder of this season.

8. Generosity at Its Best

"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." - Charles Dickens

Dickens' quote serves as a timeless reminder that the qualities we admire during Christmas—generosity, goodwill, and warm-heartedness—should resonate within us throughout the year.

9. Tis the Season of Love

"Christmas, my child, is love in action." - Dale Evans

This simple yet profound quote encapsulates the essence of Christmas—it's a manifestation of love, expressed through heartfelt actions and kind gestures.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day

I was gifted the book Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War! The book is being published by an imprint of Lerner books (www.lernerbooks.com). The book was researched by children’s author, Talia Aikens-Nunez whose previous publications include the OMG series. Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War is a nonfiction chapter book. While war history is not really my favorite subject to read about, Aikens-Nunez does a great job of capturing your attention with a great introduction. The book is filled with great facts and maps at the beginning of each chapter. I love the inclusion of a glossary as well as a bibliography. While it was a struggle for me to read because of the topic, I really appreciated learning about a facet of history I was not super-familiar with before.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day 2023 (1/26/22) is in its 10th year!

Family tree chart for reference

This is the 2nd in a series of articles which serializes my family history, which I wrote in November 2017, titled "From Samuel to Cyrus: A fresh look at the History of the Packard Family." This has been updated thanks to helpful comments from Dale Cook.

Below is the "family tree chart for reference (progenitors underlined)" section from that history:

Generation 1 (in England): Richard Packard and Katherine who reportedly had four children: Thomas, Jane, Margaret and John, all with the last name of Packard.

Generation 2 (in England): John who (as claimed by family lore) married Joan Bryde and had one son named Moses (with the last name of Packard).

Generation 3 (in England): Moses who married Joan and had 1 son, named

George P. Packard. No other information is known.

Generation 4 (in England): George P. who married Mary Whither and had 7 children: Frances, John, George, Margaret, Samuel, Nathan, and Mary.

Generation 5 (started in England, came to English America in 1638): Samuel Packard (d. 1684) (also spelled Packer, Packerde, Packeard, and varied other spellings) married Elizabeth (died aft. 1702) [maiden name is not Stream] and had 14 children (with the last name of Packard): Mary (d. 1697) Samuel (d. 1697), Israel (d. 1699), Hannah (d. 1727), Deborah (d. 1725), Zaccheus (d. 1723), Deliverance (d. 1708), John (d. 1741), Nathaniel (d. 1726), and Elizabeth (d. 1729). As Dale Cook noted, there were three other daughters of Samuel and Elizabeth: Jael, Jane, and Abigail.

Generation 6 (in Bridgewater, MA, within English America): Zaccheus Packard (d. 1723) married Sarah Howard (d. 1703) and had 9 children (with the last name of Packard): Israel (d. 1725), Sarah (d. 1754), Jonathan (1684-1746), David (d. 1755), Solomon (d. 1782), James (d. 1765), Zaccheus II (d. 1775), John (1695-1738), and Abiel (1699-1774)

Generation 7 (in Bridgewater, MA, within English America): John Packard (1695-1738) married Lydia Thompson (1703-1789) and had 6 children (all with the last name of Packard): Lydia (d. 1762), Abel (1729-1804), Abigail (b. 1733), John (1725-1807), Barnabas I (1738-1824), and Abiah (birth and death dates not

known).

Generation 8 (in Bridgewater and Cummington, MA, within English America): Barnabas Packard I (1738-1824) married Sarah Ford (1739-1813) and had 7 children (all with the last name of Packard): Barnabas II (1764-1847), Polly (1766-1846), Pollicarpus “Carpus” (1768-1836), Bartimeas (1769-1854), Cyrus (1771-1825), John Ford (1776-1849), and Philander (1778-1861)

Generation 9 (in Bridgewater, Cummington, and Plainfield, MA, within English America, then the US):

Barnabas Packard II (1764-1847) married Mary Nash (1767-1837) and had 8 children (all with the last name of Packard): Achsah (1790-1791), Sally (1792-1868),

Barnabas III (1795-1871), Patty (d. 1797), Ruby (1799-1871), Norton (1802-1898), Milton (1805-1875), and Roswell (b. 1808)

Generation 10 (in Cummington, Windsor, and Plainfield, MA):

Barnabas Packard III (1795-1871) who married Ruth Snow (1799-1879) and 10 children (all with the last name of Packard): Polly Neth (1819-1868), Cynthia Cordelia (1820-1863), William Henry (1822-1896), Patty Martha (1824-1903), Irene (b. 1826), Mary Jane (b. 1828), Roswell Clifford (1831-1919), Ossmus (1834-1907), Charles Edwin (1838-1933), and Harrison Clark (1840-1899).

Generation 11 (in Plainfield, Windsor, and Cummington, MA):

William Henry Packard (1822-1896) married Rachel Bartlett Tillson (1825-1881) and had 10 children (all with the last name of Packard): Alice Cornelia (b. 1850), Welcome Tillson (1850-1888), Cyrus Winfield (1852-1924), William Luther (1854-1941),

Joseph A. (b. 1855), Benjamin Franklin “Frank” (b. 1858), Fred R. (1860-1884), Mary M. (1862-1887), Charles (1866-1924), and Henry Clark (1866-1924). William Henry later married a woman named Mary Ann Dyer in 1887, six years after Rachel’s death.

Generation 12 (in Plainfield, Windsor, and Cummington, MA): Cyrus Winfield Packard (1852-1924) who first married Nellie Mason (1861-1881) who died in childbirth, married Dorothy “Dora” Ann Mills (1849-1895) and had 7 children (all with the last name of Packard): John Henry (1882-1950), Margaret Alice (1885-1976), Joseph Winfield (1885-1910), Charles Edward (1887-1960), Marion Estelle (1889-1965), Robert Barnabas (1891-1956), and Mabel Hattie (1892-1961).

After her death, Cyrus would marry a third time to Clemenina Cheney (1874-1926) and would have 5 children (all with the last name of Packard): Olive Martha (1896-1969), Herbert Miles (1898-1966), Rachel May (1900-1933), Thomas “Tom” Theodore (1902-1974), and Harold Cyrus (1907-1975).

There are other generations beyond this, which are noted in specific chapters, but this is a good guide to the rest of this book. [2] Take note: the first three generations listed are based on family lore and sketchy records. Their conclusions could be incorrect. As one Packard descendant, Richard Packard, told me on Find A Grave, “anything beyond George is pure speculation as many have searched and found no original proof records.” He also sent me a narrative involving Samuel Packard and other Packards.

Notes

[2] The Packard family file at the Cummington Historical Museum notes the following: Cummington sent 11 to fight in revolutionary war; they had an original land deed involving John Packard; lands were bought and sold in Cummington by Abel Packard (1772, 1773); Adam Packard (1795, 1811); the Adam Packard tavern reportedly started in 1803 reportedly, became legislative rep. on state level; people wrote about Packard family lineage in letters to the Cummington Historical Society in 1982, 1983, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2004, and 2005; Hope Packard was part of Ashfield Historical Society in 1974; the Old Bridgewater Historical Society has Packard family index which was compiled by Alan D. Packard in Kansas (Sep. 1982); Barnabas Packard's house was still standing in 1987; Abel Packard wills and land records within file; R.R. Packard had relationship with Bisbee family; and probate of Abel Packard within the file.

Note: This was originally posted on June 29, 2018 on the main Packed with Packards WordPress blog (it can also be found on the Wayback Machine here). My research is still ongoing, so some conclusions in this piece may change in the future.
