Dear Folks,
Well, I finally sent you come pictures at last. I don’t like them in the least. In fact I think they stink, but you were yelling bloody murder for some, so take the consequences. I’m in town tonite, so I don’t want to waste any time. I’ll probably write you a letter tomorrow, so until then.
Love,
Ben
About Me
- Pfc Benjamin Kaplow
- In 1943 I was drafted into World War 11 right out of Madison High School, Rochester, NY. This is my story as told in the letters I wrote home. They’re all here, all 192 of them. Spend some time with me as I describe my experiences in basic training and then off to war. They were written in an attempt to help me feel close to my family and to let them know what was going on in my life. It’s the first time I was away from home and I have to confess that I was homesick. My folks were Esther and Jacob Kaplow. We were four children in this order: Arnette, Ruth, Bob, and myself.
