Charles Staples was born in 1924. He enlisted in the military on March 1, 1943. By late 1944, he was stationed in England, Section 47 BAD #1. His early letters were written to his father, Mr. Elden I. Staples of 29 Wilkins Road in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The first letter in our collection is dated October 9, 1944, althought "Chuck" may have lost track of the days because the envelope has a postmark of October 8, 1944.
