A second edition of this book was published in 2018. It represents a major updating and improvement over the original 2000 edition.
At the time of its publishing, 2000, this book represented nearly two decades of research work. Since it's publishing, a lot of information has been provided to correct and expand various sections of the book. NOTE that I have published a 2nd Edition of this book (2018).
In this book, I've attempted to list every place in the United States and Territories where soldiers, sailors, or marines might have been stationed during the First World War. The reason for such a list is to provide source locations and checklists for postal history (letters and cards) from these military men. The book lists all fixed, land-based United States military camps and facilities that operated during the War period. There has long been a need for such a listing, as it was not known where military mail could have originated within the US.
NOTE: the mailing address present in the paper and PDF copies of this book are out of date. Please contact me using the email address below:
These books are now only available to members of the Military Postal History Society.
