I am feeling fine and hope every one back home is doing the same. My paper hasn't caught up with me as yet but sure hope it does soon because I sure miss it now.

Glen Hinze, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hinze, written some where in England on July 8. The letter quotes as follows: Dear Mr. Rix: Now that I have some time, I shall drop you a line or two. I haven't received the paper now for almost 6 weeks and sure do miss it. Because I am now back in England in a hospital and sure wish I had the paper to read.
Has there been any boys from Manning wounded over in France, or am I the first one from
there. I'll be back after the Jerries very soon. I am receiving the best of care here and am
also getting some nice food, and does that go good now! Glen Hinze Writes From Overseas Dear All! I have a little time this afternoon, so will write a short letter to you all in Manning. How is everybody getting along? Fine I hope! As for myself, I am feeling just fine. I did have a bad cold, but that can't be helped over here. The weather here is just awful, because its been raining here for about the past two months, and always cold. But I suppose the weather back there is about the same.
I am sending you a paper which General Patton gave our Division, explaining and
commending our accomplishments in the great fight.
Pvt. Hinze sent a paper, "The Sniper" published in Germany, from the Headquarters of the
Third United States Army, Office of the Commanding General, George Patton, jr.
A personal commendation of the same order was attached by Walton H. Walker, Maj. Gen.
U. S. Army, and also by J. A. Van Fleet, C/G, 90th, who wrote: To every member of the 90th
Div. And supporting units: Congratulations. Manning Monitor article------ 1945
Has More Time Since Victory in Europe
I haven't had, much time to do any writing for the past five weeks, so I'll write one letter to
all my friends and to the boys over here in the E. T. O. which I have been writing to. GLEN HINZE COMES HOME FROM GERMANY Cpl. Glen C. Hinze, who spent four years in army uniform, arrived in the parental, Ed. O. Hinze, home Tuesday morning wearing the discharge emblem. Glen was with the 90th division in Germany and arrived in New York Oct. 30 and received his discharge in Illinois last week. Glen C. Hinze Writes From Regensberg, Germany Dear Sir: Well, I have some time tonight I so I will drop you all a line or two again. I am in the best of health and hope everyone at home is the same by now. I was on a 7-day furlough last week over to England and had a very nice time and when I came back to my unit, my C. O. told me to pack up and be ready to go home. I thought he was kidding but I guess he wasn't because I left the 90th division and came to the 166th Eng. combat Bn. and am going to the states with them. It sure makes a person feel good to know that he will soon be home, for good.
I would like to have all my papers stop coming over here. Don't send any letters or papers
or packages until I tell you to, because we are on the move all the time and our mail won't
get to us until we get to the states. |
