Description

This handwritten letter, postmarked August 2, 1944, is written from W. N. (William Neill) Bogan, Jr. at Camp Butner in North Carolina to his father, W. N. Bogan, Sr. in Memphis, Tennessee. The letter describes some of the training exercises he's been doing and informs his dad that his group, the 1133rd Combat Group is on the alert which could either mean they are top priority for new training equipment or to be transferred or shipped overseas or it could mean nothing. The letter is signed, "All my love, Buddy." The envelope is postmarked Camp Butner, North Carolina, August 2, 1944 and the postage is designated as "free."
