World War II, Original Naval Dispatch Announcing Victory in Japan, August 15, 1945

Estimate
US$250 - US$500
Price realised:
US$150
Beschreibung:

Sent to destroyer ship USS Fox (DD-234/AG-85) from James Forrestal, SECNAV. All hands of the United States Navy Marine Corps and Coast Guard may take satisfaction in the Conclusion of the war against Japan and pride in the part played by them in accomplishing that result. The demobilization of the armed forces of the United States and the Return to conditions of peace will create problems taxing patience and control almost as great as the tensions of war. I ask that the discipline which has served so well to bring this democracy through hours of great crisis be maintained to the end that nothing shall mar the record of accomplishment and glory that now belongs to the Navy Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Condition: Folds, scuffed edges with some missing paper, but only a few letters of type missing in lower portion. Some sailor clearly cherished this and kept it in his wallet for many years.
