Featured WWII Love Letters To Helene

Oh, Henry. Sounds like he's had a rough few days.

 

Could be....but some are spaced more closely together.

 

His name is Herman, but he signs his letters Hermie.

 

Hermie is even more endearing than Henry!

 

The officer got bread & water for 10 days? on a ship so I wonder is that the “hole”. But he was fined, $60.00, a lot of money back then. !!!

 

The base commander probably decided they were both at fault and gave both a good spanking.

 

Letter # 7

 

Awww!
That Herm is a swell kid!
Can you imagine how thrilled Helene was when the mailman came?

 

I love old letters like this. Herm is a hoot & in love.

 

I love how he's less about "the fight cost me $60" than "wait until I tell Helene about it!"

 

I wonder if he got out of the fine...

 

Letter # 8, one of my favorites

 

Like I said "I gotta tell Helene about this!" (LOL)

 

Letter #9

 

80 years later, 2024, another leap year...

 

I wonder if she showed up with a preacher and a marriage license and "got 'er done".

 

I wonder who did he get advice from? And a leap year.

 

And why is he asking does my baby love me yet? He almost sounds like a confused teenager!!!!

 

I am sure they are young...maybe her letters slowed down. Maybe he's worried about what might happen to him. I am sure he's lonely and longing for home.
