Title: Correspondence from Julian (June) Matlock to his mother, Miss Virgie Matlock
Description: The letters were sent from Camp Atterbury, IN (near Columbus, IN) and Camp Roberts, CA (near Bradley, CA). In his letters, Matlock states that he wanted to go to the Navy but was drafted into the Army. He shares his first impressions of the Army, which are not very flattering, and talks about the routines of daily life in the Army including the usual complaints about the food, the clothing and the training. He also talks about matters at home like the purchase of an automobile and tobacco farming. This folder contains a color postcard with patriotic red, white & blue V for Victory and USA with stars [Tichnor Bros., Inc.]
