See all formats and editions

During his childhood, C. D. Griffith lived on his family's Indiana farm in the Eel River bottoms where he worked the land, hunted, and fished, never venturing further than twenty-five miles from home.

But all of that changed during his senior year of high school when he was drafted into the US Army.

In March 1943, with a brief stop at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, eighteen-year-old Griffith headed on a train to Camp White in Medford, Oregon, with a final stop in Japan. In a collection of original, unedited letters penned to his family, Griffith details his experiences as a soldier serving his country in a faraway land.

His letters contain vivid descriptions of what he learned in camp and witnessed in the Pacific while bravely battling the enemy as a member of the Greatest Generation. My Senior Trip shares the original letters of a Second World War soldier that provide a fascinating glimpse into his experiences while serving his country overseas.
