For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource HEADQUARTERS CHINA-BURMA-INDIA AIR SERVICE COMMAND Office of the Chaplain APO 671 9 June 1944. Chaplain Robert E. Penn, Office of the Chaplain, 823rd Engineer Battalion (Avn), APO 689 Dear Chaplain Penn: The subject matter of your letter of June 5th is not unknown at this Headquarters. You will be glad to hear that very definite steps have been taken. One thousand colored troops are being shipped from the United States during the months of May, June and July. The majority of these will be used as replacements for your men, who are to be shipped back to the United States. You can assure those who come to see you that positive action has been taken, and that replacements are on the way. That ought to be good news for them. Obviously, it will take some time for these replacements to arrive here, so it may be three months before they will actually be relieved. If I were assured I would be going home in three months, I do not think I would feel like grumbling. I pass this information to you for what it’s worth. Assure your men that their officers and this Headquarters are doing everything to help them, and that they are not “forgotten men”. Hoping to meet you in the near future, I remain. Cordially yours, s/Patrick E. Nolan t/PATRICK E. NOLAN, Chaplain, U.S.A. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
