Probably more than anything else, the soldier/sailor/airman/Marine looks forward to going home. This is as true now as it was then, of course, and probably just as true in the days of Roman legions. Fortunately for those who got into WWII on the ground floor (Operation Torch - North Africa), got to go home shortly after V - E Day. This is my grandfather's log he kept on the way home. I kept a similar log on the way home from Iraq but we flew back so it didn't take near as long (long flight though!!) Perhaps mine will be interesting 60 years from now!
PS. The attachments don't show in chronological order so you will have to go by the date on the page. The single page entry is the first.
