Research was able to provide me with a fuller story surrounding this letter, through unit records and military records.
In May of 1944, Captain Dean Beavers, US Army was seven miles north of Anzio, Italy with his company, Charlie Battery of the 189th Field Artillery Battalion, 45th Infantry Division. The unit had just received a new shipment of mail, as he notes he was hopeful of a letter from home. The unit was on the front lines facing Germans, the unit history notes that for the day of 2 May 1944, an enemy reconnaissance plane had been seen, followed then by enemy bombers, however there was no damage to the unit.
