- Containers:
- 01.0268 - Box 1, Folder 005
- Scope and content:
This folder contains letters from William Clayton Greene to Norma Belle. The letters contain anecdotes about using their helmets as toilets. He also identifies the town in Belgium he often visited, Mozhet, and thanks for shipments of cigarettes. He mentions having a bath at a field showerhouse run by "negro quartermasters." He also mentions getting a keg of beer and other supplies for which he was thankful. In a later letter he mentions GI's receiving stiff sentences from court martials relating to fraternization. His letters conclude with grumbles about payday coming in German Marks, but that he was going to hoard them in case he gets a "Paris Pass" due to inflation rates.
