No letter today. The next letter was written on 16 August.
Here's how gas was rationed in 1943. Naturally, this booklet had no remaining coupons!
Letters to Wilma traces the path of a WWII Army doctor from training on Cape Cod, to landing D-Day plus 6 in Normandy, and concluding 1400 miles later in Leipzig, Germany. Greg's path included the Battle of the Bulge and the liberation of the slave labor camp at Nordhausen, with the 438th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. They met on a blind date in July of '43. Letters became daily. Wilma became his wife, and I their fourth child.
