The collection consists primarily of letters of Charles M. Day to his girlfriend and later his
wife, Marguerite King, while he was stationed in France during World War I, and letters of
Henry P. Day to his parents. Some of the latter letters were written while Henry attended school
in Massachusetts and others were written while he was stationed in North Africa and Italy during
World War II. The correspondence of Charles M. Day and Henry P. Day describe living
conditions during the war, battles that the men fought in, and descriptions of the countries where
they served. The collection also includes a “History of Company B” written by Charles M. Day,
which includes a list of all the members of that company including a list of those killed in
action, and a detailed movement-by-movement account of the company’s actions during
World War I; a program from a reunion for Charles’s company in 1933, which includes
biographical sketches of some of the members of the company, including Charles, and a picture
of the company; and various publications from World War II including “Road to Rome” booklet
with Henry’s notes in the margins and “Our First D-Day” magazine.
