Letter from an Indiana soldier in Brest France 1939
The writer describes wartime conditions at Brest since January, days of long marches and hospitalizations, poor quarters, and a cold that spreads among troops. He recalls ear injury from a brush pile, a dental filling, and a scar from defending against a German aircraft. He laments delays in returning home and asks why they cannot be brought back to the United States.
