WWII-Era Military Mail Envelope, P.F.C. Ross Moon, 11th Airborne Division to Miss Marianne Sammet

This envelope carried a letter from P.F.C. Ross Moon of the 11th Airborne Division's Headquarters Company, mailed through Army Post Office 468 during the division's occupation duty in Japan, to Miss Marianne Sammet in Richmond, California. Wartime and postwar military mail like this connected servicemen overseas with loved ones at home, and the APO system provided a vital lifeline of communication. Project: 218340
