SUBJECT: Commendation:

TO     : Commanding Officers, All Stations, India China Wing, Air Transport Command.


1. In a recent conversation with the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, I found them fully aware of the many difficulties which must be surmounted daily to transport the increasing volume of tonnage to our Chinese allies.

2. Both the Generalissimo and Madame Chiang asked me to convey to every member of this command their personal thanks and the grateful appreciation of the people of China for supplying them with the vital means of their resistance to the Jap invader.

3. The eyes of the entire world are on us. Let us, everyone, try to do our daily tasks better and more efficiently with all available facilities.
