Letter from a Troop Train Through Hamburg to the Army Boys
A fragmentary 1940s style note recalls a Krith Praser postcard from a troop train passing through Hamburg and the longing to bond with departing soldiers. The writer mentions education from war maneuvers, heat in Louisianan swamps, letters from Civil War era relatives, and plans for returning home to Kansas. A second fragment from Frances C. Chaney at Camp San Louis Obispo speaks of reading a local paper, contacting friends, and Army maneuvers in Washington and California, with hopes of joining the Army for longer service.
