US Army censorship of mail caught the military unprepared in December 1941. As the "brass" worked out the details, troops in the field used a variety of clever stop-gap techniques to indicate mail censorship such as whiskey bottle corks, Pink Pearl erasers and thermos bottle lids. This book describes and catalogs the early US Army censor markings used around the world in 1941 and 1942.
