Just A Few Lines: Letters Home From World War 2

Three brothers go off to World War II. The youngest goes to the South Pacific. The middle brother to Europe. The oldest was posted stateside. They write home about basic training, the trip overseas, the hard, endless work, and life in the Army. The brothers are concerned about the war, each other, and the family back home. One faces more than just the enemy. Their letters span most of the war, from March 1942 to October 1945. They showcase my grand uncles’ down-to-earth humanity, as well as their heroic journeys—all in “just a few lines.”
