1945 US V-Mail, Judge Advocate Section, Delta Base, c/o PM NY (Southern France)

Description: US 1945 V-Mail letter (you can see the silver in it) --- letter is to Mrs. Fae Emerson, Leland Way, Hollywood, California --- from Sergeant Robert T. Rogers, Judge Advocate Section, Delta Base, c/o Postmaster, New York, N.Y. --- letter is censored; Letter is dated Southern France, 4 February 1945 and begins, "Dear Fae, Although I didn't have much to do today, had to be on the job. Get one day off a week so Sunday is like another day as far as working." "Could fill several pages of V Mails of the things I saw and did in Paris if I could remember it all, but of course, I saw so much in such a short time I just can't remember it all. Naturally, the visiting of Napoleon's tomb, the Eiffel Tower, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are some of the things I'll never forget seeing. I sure used up the film there too - about three rolls in three days. However, believe it or not, film is one of the things that seems to be pretty plentiful over here so can get some of it to burn up. Used practically a whole roll of me and the Eiffel Tower in fact." "After spending about three months in London I kind of hated to leave the place. I finally knew my way around, where to go and such and might also add I had a pretty swell girl to run around with - a little Irish girl from around Belfast in North Ireland - and am afraid I got quite a crush on her and guess we both felt the same. Am looking forward to possibly getting a furlough to go back and see her." "I haven't had any mail now for over a month so don't know what's new at home. I presume Bill is home now and undoubtedly using my car to "park" in since they wrecked theirs. Carl wrote me sometime ago and heard he had another promotion. For myself in the regard, I've given up, all I want is to be a civilian again. Incidentally, don't know if we ever mentioned him, but one of the gang, whom you have met quite a rew, was killed in France in November. Was a good pal of Carl, Bill, myself and had played many trumpet duets with him in the olden days. The last letter I got, my folks had to move right in the middle of the winter, to another place. Guess that was pretty tough with all the junk we have." "Sent you a card from Paris but you know how long it takes to get straight mail from Europe, but you should get it eventually. This about says it all for now so with my usual best wishes, will say "bye" for now. Sincerely Bob"Money back guaranteed if stamp(s) and/or cover(s) is/are not to your satisfaction.
