one of the chapels at Camp Haan

October 23, 1943

Camp Irwin, California

Dear Pop

Here’s one of the chapel like we have at Camp Haan. They’re all pretty nice and have organs and everything. We just came off our five day problem and I’m pretty tired. I have some more cards of Camp Haan and Irwin which I will send.

Love, Tom

On back: Camp Haan, California, located about sixty-five miles from Los Angeles, in Riverside County, California, is the largest anti-aircraft artillery training center in the nation. When the final battle of this war has been won for the United Nations, a significant part will have been played by thousands of men who first received their training in warfare at this post.
