Postal worker on a mission to reunite Arkansas family with World War II-era letters

Marion Lamb, a veteran from Texas, recently had his collection of World War II-era letters discovered by Alvin Gauthier, a postal worker in Jacksonville. The letters were written in 1942 and had never been delivered to the intended family.

Gauthier stumbled upon the letters while loading his truck and was amazed to see the date on the envelope. After some investigation, he learned that the letters were addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lamb” in Jacksonville. Gauthier felt a strong desire to get these letters to their rightful owners and reunite them with this piece of their history.

The discovery of these letters has sparked curiosity and interest in uncovering more about Marion Lamb and his connection to the Jacksonville family. Gauthier is determined to ensure that these letters find their way to their intended recipients and hopes that they will be a meaningful reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II.
