Letters From Boys Over There Describe Rationed Life And Rhine Tourney
A pair of wartime letters recount life in occupation Germany and on the Rhine. Sgt Richard Walker writes of mail delays, souvenir thefts, and scarce rations as he notes a 28th Division tally and new recruits. Gy. Sgt A C Marsh, stationed near Coblenz, praises Rhine housing, contemplates seven day furloughs to Italy or Rome, and proudly lists Second Division exploits and the Croix de Guerre, while describing village life and friendships.
