A letter home.
"When we arrived in England last January we came directly to this spot. The huts had just been completed and mud was everywhere. We soon got straightened out and later helped the C.B.'s build the chow hall and drain the place.
" After about seven weeks we were moved up to ______________ Wales where we joined the Army _________. From there until now we ate and lived with the army.
(The blanks suggest that he was not allowed to giver certain details because of censorship.)
"There were several maneuvers and after about two months we moved into what they call 'Concentration Area' which was a camouflaged camp where we had all our equipment and were restricted.
"From this camp we had one very large maneuver, the last 'dry run.' Then came a briefing that is studying maps, models, photos, etc. Then we moved to the marshalling area, then aboard the troop transport, where we got Navy chow!"

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
