It was definatly a huge problem for soldiers to communicate with people who was waiting was them, and who they love. War is not a safety place to relax. It is place where you live only today. You do not know what`s gonna be tomorrow. Are you gonna live or be dead among thousands of men who were waiting for the letter from home. From wife, from mom....
They were waiting for weeks...
Not everybody was able to receive that piece of hapinness, piece of home during that horrible times.
