Mail Call: Hand Painted Envelopes From Father to Son During World War 1 - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Mail Call by Nancy Myers Hopkins

The envelopes in this book were painted by John Ross Myers to convey letters to his oldest son, Walter Lorain Myers, who had enlisted in the World War I American Expeditionary Force on February 2, 1918. Walter was assigned to the Signal Corps because of his expertise as a wireless operator. In addition, his experience as a scene painter in the family scene shop qualified him as a camouflage artist.

Dedicated to the memory of the “Sammies,” “Yanks,”
“Doughboys,” and “Soldier Bills” who crossed the pond and shouted, “Lafayette, we are here!”
