Dear Folks: Excerpts from letters home of an infantryman in training and in combat March 13, 1944 to January 6, 1946

This book portrays the small world of the infantrymen, many of whom were drafted wight out of high school, in training and in combat during WWII. This will not be a story of heroic action. The letters presented in it relate the thoughts and actions of the basest member of the armed services, the combat infantryman, otherwise known as GI, GI Joe, dogface, doughboy, and foot soldier.
