Wallace Ben Holland

Ben Holland wrote home quite frequently from Camp Lee. He also sent plenty of postcards home to give us a glimpse of camp life in 1917-1918. 

The following postcards were generously shared with me by Jon Corklin of Erie PA. They were sent home by Wallace Ben Holland while he was at Camp Lee, VA training with C Company, 313th Machine Gun Battalion (1917-1918).
