Re: APO identification needed about a pilot
...another question about that mysterious and long APO number (good working, having made possible teh letters excanges between USA and England):
Is it possible that such a "long" (more than usualy) APO number should have been affected to one single person ? or group of persons travelling on same time with same destination ??? (for example a group of replacement pilots?)
Should it be a kind of "private" or "temporary" APO that he should use before he would have joined his unit in England? (was it possibel to get one "private" APO?).I repete it here below:
(APO 16296 BA 33c/o NEWYC F.l.)
One more precision; that long mysterius APO was first given to him, written with official army stamps as he was still in Harding Field (and later used and copied on manuscript writing). It was written on the "notice of change of adress" little cards that he sent to everyone as he left for the ETO.
So it seems it was a 100% "official" and good working APO!
Thanks for any possible idea/explanation about it!
