CPL Cadieux writes to his mother, Nadia, several times per week. He often writes of the food available and of his health and various ailments. Cadieux is Roman Catholic and often writes of attending Mass and Communion and of various holy days. Early letters are about physical and weapons training, his unsuccesful efforts to get into specialized training and Officer Candidate School, and finally his training as a land surveyor. Cadieux keeps his mother apprised of his assignment locations with the Army Corps of Engineers - Northern Ireland, London, Paris, Brussels, Frankfort - and describes his living quarters/apartments, friends, meals, and his travels while on furlough. He frequently asks for personal grooming items, clothing, and accessories. He mentions his office workplace but does not speak of his work. Cadieux and his mother share a great deal of information about friends' and family's military assignments, marriages and deaths. Note: One letter was added from a separate accession, which includes a lock of his hair sent July 4, 1944. [acc# 2014.077.w]
