Letters from World War II Marines and sailors reach home
A soldier writes from an army transport ship about moving address changes and craving home. He recalls service in Russia and the Arctic conflict near Norway including downing a German Ju 88, sealing seals on deck, and feeding one to a Baltimore Zoo. A second section recounts an uncle’s son’s Pacific voyage with the Wildcats, training in San Francisco and Pearl Harbor, combat on Augaur Peleliu, and the comradeship and sacrifices of officers, engineers, and medics as cemeteries are dedicated by General Mueller.
