Auxiliary Material for the Military Postal History Society Monograph #4
This web page points to auxiliary material provided in support of the published Monograph #4 of The Military Postal History Society (MPHS) entitled: U.S. Postal Censorship during World War I by John Hardies and Bill (Wilfrid N.) Broderick. In order to limit the page count of this monograph, it was deemed necessary to place certain documents on the MPHS website. This also allows these documents to be available to the general public.
A history of MI-10, the Censorship Section of the Negative Branch of military intelligence.

From the document:
This Section was organized to carry on the additional responsibilities imposed upon the Director of Military Intelligence by his appointment as Chief Military Censor. In addition to the control of the entire field of Military Censorship in cooperation with Naval and Postal censorship, various other duties were entailed upon him and referred to this section.
Letters sent in 1939 between C. M. Busbee, Lieut-Colonel, General Staff, Executive Officer, G-2 and Captain Edward H. Flood.

The content of these letters indicate that a full history of WW I military censorship (G-2) did not exist at the time of writing.
These documents were found in the National Archives during the original research performed by the authors (and other members of the MPHS).
