Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "To Hilton Head, which is about 19 miles from here, for firing practice with these 3” guns, returning here about the first of October for further transfer to Cuba. Isn’t that a hell of a note. I request to be sent to Parris Island in order ot keep from going to Honolulu, so they retaliate by sending me to Cuba. It must be that they don’t want to station me anyplace near home. Well I’ve only one year, eleven months and twenty eight days left.
I would have written before this, but I had another attack of that strange malady, cat fever, so common to the Marine Corps. The last two weeks I was in New York. It was all I could do to crawl from my bunk to the school and back to my bunk again. I was too damn miserable to do anything" From the Edward L. Parke Collection (COLL/5627) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
