December 14, 1943
Sunday Night
Dear Folks,
I just received your phone call. If I had known that you would have worried as you did, I wouldn’t have written you. It was just another incident in the life of a soldier. I had almost forgotten about it. It’s getting warmer now. Might turn out to have some good weather.

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.
Worried
Ben is 18 years old. He is at the University of Connecticut for A.S.T.P. school which is the Army Specialized Training Program. In this Post Card, we don’t know exactly why his family was worried.
