Camp Jackson South Carolina WWI
Written by a soldier at Camp Jackson, South Carolina, in August 1918. From the letter…..I have been on K.P. all day and have just been off long enough to clean up……..It sure seems awful tho that M.

You see he was just a boy as he was in Maymis? and Raymond’s class, and was one of the first to enlist……There was a strain load of men just pulled in. They were yelling and one of our fellows said they must be leavin, , another said “naw they’ll yell louder than that when they leave.”……must close soon as the first bugle has blown.
