Description

Like many soldiers, US Marine Corps Corporal Donald Alfred Herrick wrote a letter to home before being shipped off to France in World War I. The artist pulled out and expanded certain passages written by her grandfather that would have carried special meaning to his family as they passed around his missive again and again, hoping for his eventual safe return.
