Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, September - October, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

We had our pictures taken yesterday for some sort of book like a high school year book. Its for the 263 Regt. I think it will be sent to you for they didn't think we would be here long enough to get it. I'm putting one of your $5 to work on it.
Now to catch up with the news. Fri. morning was pretty easy as I went to see about my jaw so I stayed away the rest of the morning. In the afternoon we had a short attack problem then came in. Guess the gang went to the show that night. Yesterday forenoon we had an inspection in the barrack. In the afternoon we had a parade by the Regt. You know about last night so I guess that about covers the news.
I suppose school is going full blast about now. Doesn't seem like it should be starting yet. I got back to school last winter but I'm afraid I'm not that lucky this season.
All but a few of our officers and non-coms have gone home on a leave now. Everything points to a trip out of the states.
