This week we have letters written by PFC George Paul Corthell of Tiffin and Oak Harbor Ohio. PFC Corthell served with the 862nd Chemical Co, Aviation Operations in Europe.
I'd like to thank Hampstead NH Cable Tv for their contribution which allowed me to purchase these letters at auction.
During WW2 women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. Please visit me on Facebook, or email me at [email protected] and help me get the letters home
Thank you for listening!
