TRANSCRIBED FROM THE ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT OCTOBER 31, 1918 P. 12
I am not in the band any more. In fact, the whole regiment has been considerably changed. I have been supply sergeant since coming over here. I have to work to beat the band, but everybody has to do that over here. Army life here is not near what it was in the States.
NOTES: This partial letter was written by Sergeant John T. Ginocchio to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Ginocchio of Little Rock, Arkansas. He was born on April 1, 1900 in Little Rock and died on May 4, 1971 in Fort Worth, Texas. He is buried in the Greenwood Memorial Park in Fort Worth. His military headstone identifies him as a 1st Sgt. HO Co 153 Inf serving in World War I.
