Pacific_Medical_Center_pano_01.jpg

 

Seattle has the old Pacific Medical Building (originally the U.S. Marine Hospital) on Beacon Hill

 

During the first part of World War 2, my grandfather was assigned to an anti-aircraft battalion at a nearby park. During practice, while firing blank rounds, his loader accidentally slipped a live round into a 40mm Bofors and he fired a round over this same building.

 

As my uncle said, there was a reason why Grandpa Harry made corporal three times when serving in the Army.
