These are writings and illustrations from my papa, Frederick R. Mortensen. He was stationed in France. He's drawn and written to my nana about combat and his experiences. I would like suggestions on who might value these items besides family. Kristi
Hah, I took my Army Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Fort Devens!

Take a look at my postings if you'd like to see some other examples.
