Mathew and his sister, Carly, had an uncertain future until John and Jennie Atkinson came into their lives. Their adoptive parents adored their children and did everything they possibly could to assure they grew up in a safe, happy environment. Mathew had a brilliant mind and, early on, began to show an interest in his father's surgery. With the love of his fianc e, Laura, and the support of his parents, Mathew's future looked bright. Shortly after World War I began, Mathew voluntarily enlisted. Taken in by the propaganda and his desire to help his fellow man, he felt it was his destiny.
