                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>James and Maxine dated in High School and after. They decided to get married while he was in flight training and tied the knot on October 29, 1942. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See photos of the day, a couple of letters James sent home before the big day and the local newspaper announcements. Note the letter where he had to get his parents' permission for the military as he was still not of age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:
