The first volume in a series consisting of the letters and photographs from 17 year old Alfred Clark Smith in his journey from basic training to deployment during World War II. Smith's experiences are chronicled in his personal letters home to his mother, brother, and other family. The letters follow Smith from his days in the Army at the New Cumberland Receiving Station in Pennsylvania, to basic and infantry training at Camp Blanding in Florida, to waiting for his deployment to the Pacific Theater in California. His experiences are very personally conveyed through the unedited publication of his letters and photographs by his grandson, Mark A. Patterson, Jr.
