11 Sep 1944 -- Mission Support 5317th Air Depot HQ (Prov)

More various assignments published today, including temporary duty for LT. ERIC KORY, "in connection with military matters, not to exceed three days." Twenty-seven soldiers were ordered for various items. Interestingly, the orders typist started using codes which he noted at the top of the order. So he didn't have to type them for each person over and over.  Here they are:

Some order shortcuts

Probably the best item was MAJOR JOHN D. REINDEL, who was granted 20 days rest leave to visit Srinagar, India.
