April 21st V-Mail to Mom and family

April 21st
Germany

Dearest Mom and All,

Yours and Pat's letters, April 8th, came night before last and Polly's "V mail" also the 8th -came last night.
Conference sounded wonderful. I hope I can be home for the next one. Bill Richards wrote me on March 24th that an L.D.S. conference was to be held in Paris April 8th and that he'd already attended several L.D.S. services conducted by our Mormon chaplain on the continent. Certainly wish I could get in on some of them.

I had quite an experience a few days ago. A Dutch boy (Displaced by the Germans to work in a factory) asked me in perfect English for some information on when the military government would arrive and then asked where I was from and on finding I was from Salt Lake and a Mormon his face was all smiles-said he had been to many of our services in Amsterdam and hummed one of our hymns to show that he still remembered. He is an electrical engineer trained in the University of the Haag. Didn't have much more time to talk to him because I was just passing through.

Let's see, tomorrow is Pat's birthday.I'm glad it's the 15th and not the 16th (birthday) Pat, honey you're growing up too fast to suit me as it is. I know how glad all of you are to have Mip home again, especially to have her away from that heavy work she was doing. Mip, I hope you'll take it easy for awhile and if you do want work take only a light job, and gee, sis, hope you're on top of the world soon.

Can't foresee the future, but I'm living comfortably right now. I think of you always and dream of the day I can be home again with you-too much sometimes. My love to all-Luther-

P.S. The photos were swell. Writing Polly now.

August 28th 1944 Journal Entry-Rain and Rations

Aug 28th RAIN RAIN and mud Lu from his memoirs: We settled into a routine of extending and improving our control surveys and existing on "K" and "C" rations and sleeping in soggy pup tents. There was lots of rain and mud and finding ways to improve living conditions was a constant challenge. As Cliff pointed out in his book, we had some talented buddies with inventive minds. Tom Fourshes, of Cadiz, Kentucky built a compact, wood fired cooking stove on which we could heat our rations, spread hot cheese on crackers, and boil eggs obtained from farmers. We found straw and dry grass to put under our bed rolls, but we never found a way to keep the water our of our fox holes. We didn't have too much incoming artillery, but I noted on August 26 'Priebe hits fox hole as I leave it going for mine as shells land in river' We also began a close relationship with our Field Artillery gun battalions. The 561st next to us were equipped with "155 Long T...

September 29th Journal entry continued-Last day of travel to Ardennes

Sept. 29- Convoy 0830 Cloudy windy day-Saw Tiger tank-Montigny, Guise, La Cappelle, ?, Trelon (Belgium Border) Chimay, Petigny, Givet (Back in France) ( Briefly-mc ) Dinant, Chigny, ? and Bastogne. Bivouac area about 3 km out in edge of beautiful spruce forest. Hope, Bliesmer & Peltz- got kissed in Petigny. Marilu: I traced this route in google maps to confirm spellings of the sequential towns. I wasn't able to find all of them, but I could see that when they went through Givet they went through a little outcropping of the French border and out again. Fun to see him referring to the kiss Cliff Hope describes in more detail in his book, quoted in the other entry for this day. From www.warhistoryonline.com The Tiger Tank was without a doubt the tank which was most feared by the Allied forces during the Second World War. The thing that made this tank so feared and respected was the 88 mm gun, which could destroy a Sherman tank at ranges up ...

Oct 25th, Wednesday-Journal Entry-Bombs and Guns

Oct 25-Lellig to Matternach- Tied in with Party 1 on R.R.- Lt Jones & G. S. scared out of house by civilian in sports roadster0 In at noon- Transferring notes to correct notebook all afternoon- O1:20 Big Buzz Bomb barely 200 ft. overhead-going south Thundering 400 M.P.H. Machine guns fire but miss. Buzz Bombs going into 1st Army positions Lu from Rae Hight's book : For quite a while, we surveyed the areas back and forth between and through Belgium, France, Germany and Luxembourg. Though the distances were not great, the continued movement required a certain amount of reorganizing each time. By the end of October we were in the Mompach-Berbourg area of eastern Luxemboug, near the front. It was not long before German shells landed not too far away. Our main reminders that the army was just a few kilometers away were the nightly visits by "Bed Check Charlie," buzz bombs that whizzed overhead each night about midnight. The V-1 flying bomb...
