Post Describes Conditions for Eastern Coast Artillery Troops
Private GL Carpenter, Coast Artillery member stationed at Fort Grabla near Narragansett Bay, writes about life on the eastern coast. He praises the YMCA and USO style services, noting a squad of 49 men with origins from Town and Indiana, Ames, and the state university. The Fort Groble area hosts five nearby forts, with National Guard in federal service and strong officer leadership. The local YMCA and Gospel work provide entertainment, writing materials, athletic goods, movies, and weekly home dances to ease homesickness among soldiers.
