LETTERS From Our Boys In The Service Luke Field, Arizona July 21, 1942 Dear Howard! You told me to let you know when I returned to the Army, so that I might, once again, receive the “Herald”. Well, here I am, now, right in the middle of the desert. I guess you knew that Wells D. Tillery, Billy Burton, and Jim mie Webb and I were together— I saw one article about Tillery in the issue a couple of weeks ago. Well, now, we are being separated, and since Tillery is leaving, there are no “Heralds” coming in. Does that give you a vague idea as to how much we miss the paper? I understand that you just came from Okla.—I’ll bet it is 10 deg. hotter here at present than it was there. I thought last year, while in Field Artillery at Fort Sill, that it was hot. Well, when the mer cury drops to 100 deg. here it is a relatively cool day. However, it is very pretty country out here, and if ever this worldly dis turbance is over, I’d like to visit here as a civilian! Arizona has, as you know, many interesting and beautiful sights. The reason for our being at this Advance Flying Field is to condition ourselves for the tough grind ahead as an Aviation Cadet. From here we go to a reception center to be classified either as Navigator, Bombardier or Flying Cadet. In either instance we have hopes of being commission ed, “with wings”, after our train incr Well, thanks a lot for taking an interest in us fellows in the service, and I take this space to say, We Appreciate It!! A-C Recruit Carlton L. Grissom c-o 80th Materiel Sqdn. Luke Field, Phoenix, Arizona Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Dear Sir: I am a long way from home and I would like to know some of the home news, so if you would send me my Herald I would thank you very much. I like the army just fine. I will do my best to make Unole Sam a good soldier and Roanoke Rapids a better citizen, and if you would send me the paper I would thank you very much. Your Pvt. Winfield Branch. add service mens’ letters_SH_6 August 4th, 1942 The Roanoke Rapids Herald Roanoke Rapids, N. C. Att.: Subscription Dept. Dear Sir: Enclosed is one dollar and fifty cents for a year’s subscription to The Herald. Hoping you will mail the editions promptly. Mail them to this address: Pvt. E. H. Dobbins Ord. Deth. (Avn. Bomb.) A.P.O. 849 c-o Postmaster New York, N. Y. Address subject to change by notice from subscriber. I never realized a person could appreciate a home town paper so much, but being in a foreign country and where people speak and look dif ferent makes one appreciate the things he left behind. Assuring you that the Germans and Japs are catching plenty of Hell and will be put in their back yard in the near future. * Sincerely, E. H. Dobbins P. S. (This pen, but the typewriter I was going to buy is making lead pants for Hitler’s Buzzards) Guantanamo Bay, Cuba August 12, 1942 Dear Mr. Wilson: I wish- to thank you for the prompt service in which you are sending the home town paper. You nor any one elsje who is in the States knows how much the boys on foreign shore duty appre ciate the home town papers. I have been reading about the U.S.O. drive there. I think it is a very good thing. It boosts the morale of the boys to the very highest mark and lowers the ven ereal disease to the lowest. We aren’t -fortunate enough to have one but we aren’t kicking because we have some of the finest bar racks in the world. I only wish WCBT could come through New York on short wave so the boys from R.R. could listen to their favorite programs again. There is only one other fellow from R.R. who is in Cuba at the present. He is Sgt. Cross. Well, this is a friend signing off from the “Pearl of the An tilles” and the land of beautiful senoritas. Pvt. J. W. Allen Box “E” Marine Corps Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba CARD OF THANKS We greatly desire to express our deepest heartfelt thanks to our friends and relatives for their kindness and sympathy shown us during the recent illness and death of our husband and father, John J. Massey. We pray that God’s richest blessings may rest upon all of you. Mrs. J. J. Massey and children Hitler is reported to have creat ed a special decoration for inhabi tants of occupied countries who collaborate with the Nazis. Called, no doubt, The Double Cross.
