Titles read: “LETTERS FROM HOME“. Northern Ireland. M/Ss show men of the American Army Post Office at work, sorting mail for the soldiers from their folks at home. Cut to a large group of soldiers waiting for their mail. Cut back to the post office workers as we see them sorting in speeded-up footage to get the work done quicker!

More shots of post being handed out. Group shot of soldiers waving their letters in the air. C/U of Butch kissing a picture of his girlfriend that he has pinned to a wooden post.
