Torrey Savereid entered the armed forces with a background including being the son of a Norwegian immigrant, a Norwegian Lutheran and coming from rural Iowa. He had met a young Norwegian-American woman (Marjorie Thronson) who was working in Minneapolis before he left overseas. The letters tell of his early history (and life in the trenches) while the overseas courtship continued through war-time censorship and V-mailletters.
