Not sure if this in the right spot as I am new. If the family was shipping stuff to the soldier in the field what sort of packaging would have been used?

Re: shipping from home
Nate, It depends on what was being sent, and how it was being sent, if it was in a wooden box, then nothing was added. SOme items would have been just wrapped in heavy or medium weight brown paper, tied with cord, and then sent. Hope this helps.
