Courage to Deliver: The Women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion
The Processing System
The 6888th was organized into a Headquarters Company, which handled administrative and service support, and four postal companies, A, B, C, and D, each commanded by a captain or first lieutenant. The unit immediately got to work, rotating in eight-hour shifts, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The tracekd the locations of millions of troops and had the somber responsibility of returning mail addressed to service members who had died. The officers also served as censors. As the stacks of mail began to shrink, the Six Triple Eight adopted the motto, "No mail, low morale."
