Description

Donald V. Brown, Seaman 1st Class, was stationed first in San Francisco and then Guam as part of the Pacific Fleet Radio Unit during World War II. Married just three days before shipping out, his nearly daily letters to his wife, Christine, describe his daily routines and other activities, including field trips with friends, USO shows, and tennis matches. It seems that most of Brown's work with the radio unit was conducted overnight, leaving ample free time during the day.
