Letters From Our MEN and WOMEN IN UNIFORM
A long letter mix reports soldiers arriving in Sunny Fleet, letters from Fort Lauderdale and Deland, people stationed at Gainy Paul Jones, and requests for news from home. It notes eight weeks of training, civilian helpers, and humor from camp. Several names appear: Dean, Zeke, Harold Taylor wounded in France, Arnald Fox, Bunny, Mrs. Edwin Getscher, Glen Dantorph, Louie Jenzen, Bob Blades, Robert James, Carl with silver wings, and Elmer Propp. The piece captures home-town morale, travel routes, and longing for home while detailing troop movements and honors.
