The collection consists of letters from Cecil W. Chapman mainly to his wife, Claudia W. Chapman with some to his daughter
Suzanne, from 1944-1945. Written during World War II, Chapman describes his voyage to Great Britain including descriptions
of the ship and life on board, life in England, the countryside, and people he meets. His letters from Europe were written
mainly from Belgium and Germany with a few from France in which, due to censorship restrictions, mainly discuss the weather
and the problems it causes for troop movements, camp life, descriptions of the area, his administrative duties, other officers,
and a little on battle activities. Chapman was wounded in April 1945 and his last letters, written through May, describe his
wounds, recovery, and hospital life in England.
