US Air Service command donates to Russian prisoners

Drawing from their own Post Exchange rations, men of Base Air Depot No. 2, U.S Air Service Command, collected 4,000 packs of cegarettes and 6,000 bars of candy, to be donated to repatriated Russian Red Army prisoners awaiting return to their homeland and the fighting front. Russians crowd around truck to get their share of rations. Most of them had been living on a sub-normal diet at the time of their release by advancing U.S. Army ground forces.
