The Snapshots in Time Collection
Handwritten Letter, Page 3, Naval Supply Depot San Diego Stationery, Korean War Era
Not every artifact of wartime is a photograph of combat -- letters like this one preserve the voice of the home front. Written by a woman named Phyllis, likely a family member or friend corresponding with Lt. Bancroft during the Korean War, this page discusses everyday concerns: typing practice, a Civil Service exam, and mending a friendship. The stationery's faint Naval Supply Depot, San Diego letterhead ties the document to the broader wartime supply and logistics network supporting American forces in Korea. Project: 218095
