  • Summary

  • S/Sgt Walter Raymond Shipp was from Kenton Ohio. He was killed in action on Feb 17, 1945 at the age of 31, during the Battle of Manila. Please listen to his story, and his letter home written in August of 1944 to his sister Hazel back home.
    During WW2 men and women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.


    Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. Please visit me on Facebook, or email me at warandfamily@outlook.com and help me get the letters home
    Thank you for listening!
