Korean War Letters from a Lieutenant and His Bride

Each book listed here is in the Korean War Project library by donation. In return, we list each book as a free service.

I was with the 578th Combat Engineers and 140th
Tank Battalion as well as 89th Tank Battalion of
the 25th Infantry Division.

The theme of this book is to portray what it was
like for a young soldier in the Army during the
last year of the Korean War from June of 1952 to
June of 1953. Some of this time was in combat
against the Chinese Communists. Also it describes
the life of his young bride, who had their
daughter while he was overseas. It describes the
stress they both were under, wondering if they
would ever see each other again. Larry was fearful
that she and the baby might not survive
childbirth. He was more concerned about this than
being wounded or killed in combat. Also there was
the dreadful possibility that he would be killed
and never experience the joy of raising his
family.

The experiences through the eyes of a young
soldier are described about getting to Korea, what
happened while overseas, returning back to the
United States, the joyful ending of the separation
from his beloved wife, and getting acquainted with
their baby daughter. The book also describes what
it was like to be on the home front, the love and
care of friends and relatives to a young woman as
she approached motherhood for the first time, and
her happiness of being a mother.
