V-E Day took place May 8 but no orders here in Barrackpore for my relative. The CBI Roundup in Delhi has an article that week that lets soldiers know that while some de-mobilization will occur, most can expect to stay on the job.Thirty-two soldiers in and around Bengal Air Depot, APO 492, Barrackpore, are affected in today's orders. Sgt Mann is off to Field Security School, Intelligence Corps (India) for five weeks, while Capt. Bartges replaces Maj Hartman as Medical Supply Officer for the 48th Med Sup Plat (Avn). Sixteen men are promoted, all enlisted.
PFC Howard Stewart was detailed to the Ice Plant. He'd recently been noted in the CBI Tiger Rag as passing up six cans of beer for 10 rupees!
