illinigander Posted November 20, 2023 #1 Posted November 20, 2023 This box came out of an old barn last week. It was repacked with trench gun, 12 gauge double 00 buckshot to date 2/44. This was done by Peters Cartridge Company (Kings Mills Ordnance Plant). Imagine my surprise when I opened the lid and found: Margie Mullan 5663 St. Louis Ave St Louis Mo. written in pencil. I have read many times about messages, etc. sent by defense-workers to the troops, but have never seen an example. Thanks to robinb for posting my photos. illinigander
