- Summary
- "During the Vietnam era the men for whom the General Nelson M. Walker was a temporary home left records of their life together on the troopship through lively handwritten transcriptions, slogans, and drawings on the surfaces of the canvas bunk inserts of the bunks under which they slept. Now graying and soiled, hundreds of such reminiscences survive on the Walker, evincing the personal thoughts, concerns, and emotions of the young men--often not much more than boys--who inscribed them. Here are memories of home and loved ones, brash statements of bravado and determination in the face of conflict, expressions of fear and anxiety on the approach to the theaters of war, patriotic sentiments, humorous cartoons, and a variety of sexual references"--Foreword.
