An air mail envelope from the closing months of World War II, postmarked Washington, D.C., February 22, 1945, and forwarded to Lt. Ray Vekroff of the Services of Supply (SOS) command in the China-Burma-India Theater. The corrected address -- from a New York-routed Army Post Office to APO 466 -- reflects the constantly shifting postal routing that connected American servicemen overseas with family and colleagues at home. Such covers survive as tangible evidence of the logistical network that kept wartime correspondence flowing across the globe. Project: 218594
