Summary
[edit]DescriptionLetter, 15 May 1941, page 3 of 6.jpg |
English: "Than there are buck privates in the Marine Corps. In fact there are more sergeants in the army than we have officers and men in the entire Marine Corps.
In answer to the question in your letter I am getting along splendidly. Apparently I’m well liked by my officers and they are doing all they can to push me along, but promotions came from Washington and that takes time. I’m enclosing a copy of one of the letters of recommendation submitted by my battery commander. I’m proud of it. He thinks I’m a good soldier and if he had his way I’d be an officer, but hell’s fire he’s only a soldier like myself. (I meant to tell you in my last letter" From the Edward L. Parke Collection (COLL/5627) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
