Got a letter written by a soldier on December 03 1917 at Camp Dodge Iowa.

He was writing about the new draftees coming to the Camp. I was going to post the letter but he used the "N" word which was common practice is those days.

I would like to ID the signature but can not read the last name. His first name is Willard.

I will try to track the name from there and maybe send the letter back to camp dodge. If any of our forum members live near there or in Iowa, I would appreciate a mailing address.

Google Camp Dodge and it was quite active for many years. Had a movie theatre that held 3,000 GI"S

Also , it was a place that a photographer assembled up to 30,000 GIs to form various images. Most famous was the Statue of Liberty. Those images are on the web site.
