Synopsis

Ever wonder what a non-fighting G.I. experienced during the World War II? Follow this G.I.'s travels via his letters to his Baltimore, Maryland fiancée back home. When I Return…. allows the reader to look into his varied military training including in the Army Air Corps and Army, basic training, specialty training, and his day-to-day experiences while stationed on the island of Saipan in the Pacific in September, 1945, shortly after the Battle of Saipan. Like many other young men going off to war, he did not want to get married and later leave a widow, or worse, a fatherless child. His letters home to his fiancée detail those decisions as well as his thoughts about their marriage plans, frustrations about the war, and his day-to-day experiences as a soldier. An amateur photographer, Allen and his two buddies, set up a thriving side business on Saipan processing their own and other G.I.'s photos. They accumulated a fascinating collection of photos, a number of which have been included in the book.
