Letters From Our Men In The Armed Service
A long reader mail contains updates from Union Buffalo Center and other service members. Sergeant Eugene Kelso writes from a hospital about tonsil surgery and daily life abroad, while Harvey Hassebroek at Fort Worden shares weather, duties, and thanks for the Tribune. Midshipman Robert Sapp in Chicago and Marion Julius in Texas express gratitude for community boxes and papers, plus notes from Fort Ord and Sheppard Field Texas. A Navy poet and a battlefield anecdote close with a wartime essay and a boxing tale from North Africa.
