''83rd WW2 Letters Grouping from Roy W. Marsh''
This is a grouping of Twenty Nine original WWII letters written by an American soldier, Sgt. ROY W. MARSH,
HQ Co. 3rd Battalion, 330th Infantry Regiment of the 83rd Infantry Division.
The documentation is impeccable. There are 19 letters that are dated between March 20, 1944 and the end of the war on VE Day, May 1945, then ten more of his time in Europe, waiting to get back to the States. He describes friends killed, his feelings and many more. This is a letters grouping from a guy that was there. The letters mostly have the CENSOR stamps and signatures of the company censor officer. Tied with a WWII cloth that they came tied in.
These grouping came from the family of the 2003 deceased Roy Marsh. The family did not even know their Dad had these items in his possession until the mother was moved into a home and they found the famous foot locker where these and a trove of other nice items was located.
The first and earliest letter was written in March 1944 at Camp Breckenridge, in Kentucky as Roy trained for service overseas. The second letter was also written in the US. The third and fourth letter were written in England. The fifth, to the nineteenth inclusive, of the letters are frontline letters. The letters are written at the front in Europe in France, Luxembourg, Germany and Belgium. The remaining then letters were written after VE Day. There is excellent content in these letters, much of it quite emotional and moving.
