I have received the following enquiry:

[color=maroon]I am a set decorator working on a movie - mainly about the postal problem in the WW2 for US troops.
Is there any one i can talk to about reference and historical facts?[/color]

I will suggest that he contacts the Military Postal History Society (MPHS) and I understand that there was an article in the October 2022 edition of Stamp magazine on the 6888th Postal Battalion:

This is from Wikipedia:
[color=black]The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, nicknamed the "Six Triple Eight", was an all-black battalion of the Women's Army Corps (WAC). The 6888th had 855 black women, both enlisted and officers, and was led by Major Charity Adams. It was the only all-black, all-female battalion sent overseas during World War II. The group motto was "No mail, low morale".[/color]

Does anyone have a copy of the magazine that can send me a scan of the article please?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
