- 17.0017-Box 2, Folder 001
- Scope and content:
This folder contains more letters with descriptions of Anton's time at Camp Lejeune including decriptions of entertainment events held for the soldiers, like the performance of pianist Jose Iturbi on Februrary 2nd. Anton also mentions the reorganizing of C Compnay several times as some men from his platoon are sent to Quantico early, and that they are to remain activated after V-12 school. He also writes about how proud he is of C Company winning in drills and inspections against other battalion platoons. However the platoon did have an incident with a "prisoner chaser" on February 3rd that required his intervention. They also failed a rifle inspection so he asssigned them several duties as punishment including a 1000 word essay. Anton also mentions going to an Ash Wednesday service and church frequently. There are also several news clippings and comics that have notes for Lucille on them.
