who recently returned from visiting
their son, Robert H., at Oakland,
Calif., writes the Sentinel that the
doctors and nurses are giving the
wounded the very best of care and
that most of the boys “want to go
back and help finish the job.”
From the Naval hospital at Corona,
to which he was moved from Oakland,
Robert writes his parents:
“Arrived here yesterday.
This
seems to be a pretty nice place. The
buildings are more permanent here.
I can look out the windows and see
snow-capped mountain peaks.
"We crossed the Mojave desert on
the way down here. It looks some­
thing like the Idaho desert except
that it has more cactus on it. Looks
pretty desolate, though. Just found
out the name of the mountains that I
mentioned. They are the San Ber­
nardino Mts. The town pf Corona is
"about three or four miles from here
and about sixty miles from Los An­
geles.
