Chaplains Weigh In On Army Married Abroad Ties
Chaplain Thomas B. Richards, after a year in England, warns about the heavy burden of Army marriages to English women. He notes 30,000 to 40,000 American servicemen wed English girls, changing names and residence, and raises concerns over international bonds, responsibilities, and potential unhappy wedlock. He urges careful interviews of couples, service records, and the CO’s role in approvals.
