A snapshot in time and love.

Quote from Librivox.
'Bill is in training camp, preparing to go off to World War I. This book is a collection of love letters written to his sweetheart, Mable. The letters are humorous, misspelled, and have many stories of life in an army camp - all from Bill's unique perspective.' (summary by Rob Kunkel)
