September 13th 1945 To Mom


September 13th
Dearest Mom,
Well mom darling this looks like about the end of my overseas correspondence ! If all goes well it shouldn't be long till I'm on my way home. Yesterday our group of 72 on up pointers in the Bn were transferred to the 46th FA Group HQ A.P.O. 758 in preparation for going home. We should leave in a few days for Rheims France. There we will wait till our place on a boat becomes available (I hope that will only be a few days_but it could be weeks). After we get on the boat the rest of the trip home should be fast!

Sound all right to you? Just pray for me that nothing SNAFU'S!

Till we leave for Rheims we are still staying with 2nd FOB here in Bensheim and we'll still get our mail but as soon as we go the mail will probably cease so you might as well stop writing. I'll write if any change in plans develops.

Now if only Dad can come home soon we can really have a family reunion can't we!

My love to all-Lu

Things were rather hectic for me for quite awhile after we came over here and we still have some work of the drudgery sort to do for a while but we are now in a "Rest" area safe and sound from any enemy action and have prospects of some relaxation (can't count on it too long though.) Last night I got my first pass in France and we all went into a little town nearby (I'll tell you its name when I'm allowed). Of course the first thing the boys I was with headed for... ...was a wine shop, but that did them no good- "Bosche Take" was all they could get from the proprietress. That was the way with every th...
