The letters
span the time period from October 1944 through December 1945. They include his
time in the Phillipines, the attack Onkinawa, and long days on Saipan
after the war ended waiting to be shipped home. Most of the content appears
aimed at courting my mother and lamenting the lack of alcoholic beverages in
the region. The letters are a bit racy but totally expected from a 22 year old
in the Army!
