Letters from the Front: The Lost WWII Chronicle of Saint Ignatius
Read MoreOn the second floor of bookcases in the Brunswick Room, hiding behind a stack of yearbooks and dusty science manuals, I found a hardcover book that looked like it hadn’t been touched in years. When I opened its pages, words jumped out at me that reminded me of my American history classes - basic training, battalion, Iwo Jima, Normandy. I looked at the spine: “Saint Ignatius Alumni Servicemen’s Newsletter, 1942-1946.” When I took the book to my desk, I realized that what I found was one of the most valuable sources for understanding the heroism, the tragedy and the day-to-day experiences of the Saint Ignatius alumni who fought in the Second World War. -
