Letters From Camp Earney Reveal Funny Hardships And Daily Life
A fragment from a letter to Mr. Gibeon by Alonzo J. Hochdorffer at Camp Earney in the 144th Artillery describes furlough limits, red tape, and library resources. The writer recalls wet weather drill, a tent collapse, and comrades sharing jokes while mud and rain soak the camp. Rifles issued cause disappointment, and a French officer questions the need unless infantry advances. A separate note from Phoenix reports no special legislative session until April, Governor Hunt's planned trip to Washington, and legislators pressing for dog tag sales as the war drags on.
