Pvt Harvey L. Mark enlisted in Phoenix, Arizona on 6 May 1942. He was was employed by the department of interior, Navajo Service in Leupp, Arizona.

While in England at the time recuperating from wounds, Harvey wrote in a letter:
“I was in France for some time and I had excitement there. I saw many interesting things.
I saw really wild Germans. The French are all right, and their country. I didn’t understand their language.
I saw many of the cattle and horses, also sheep and donkeys. I surely had lots of fun.
Once I dug out foxhole for myself. It was nice place too, then I got in and went to sleep. When I woke up I was in swimming pool. Then I got out of foxhole about two o’clock in the morning. It was raining very hard and I was all wet and cold. Where I’m going to get dry I sat under tree all night too.
I like it here, too. I am in fine shape. How are all the Farmington people, all the Indians?
No one writes me from back home yet. Old Hitler about to be dead man soon. It seems to me all English people are very happy”.
