Going back to Civilian Life

Found this in my FILs things, thought the condition was great for the age. Dated 1945 but it has a loose sheet with an address correction in it. He got out in Aug of 46 or it may of been his brother-in-laws who got out in Jan of 46.

 

I'm sure it has little value as a collector as millions would have been printed but I found it interesting.

This is cool! Love the ruptured duck on the front! Thanks for sharing!

While they may be pretty common, they can sometimes have invaluable information regarding the veterans service.

Very nice! I have one that belonged to an Engineer in the pacific. He was in Japan for occupation and got out in mid-1946. I think I also have an envelope that was sent out to him, sadly no letter was inside.

[prestoncohunter]

Sadly no envelope with it. I was shocked the address correct sheet was still with it since it was just a loose sheet.

 

It has what appears to be a train schedule penciled in on the back cover, but not where the stops would have been so that's a guess.

I wonder if this letter was given at the same time since it references the booklet.

I like how the form letter, without any mention of the individual's name, talks about handling "You" in a strictly individual and personal basis.

 

Typical Army. We have served you well because this paper says we did.
