3. Liaison: Liaison will be established between Corps Artillery Commanders from right to left. Adjacent division artillery headquarters will similarly establish liaison from right to left.
4. Special Radio Nets: a. Special army artillery radio net will be available for the dissemination of artillery intelligence and information obtained from Photo Interpretation Center. A Corps artillery radio net will be provided for the same purpose and, in addition, to fire Serenade.
5. Massing of Fire: The procedure for massing of fires within a corps sector will be as prescribed in Third Army Operations Memorandum No. 1, subject, “Serenade”.
6. High Performance Aircraft: High performance aircraft will be available for long-range adjustment of artillery fire upon request through air support channels.
7. Maps: (See Engineer Plan, Annex No. 5)
8. Gridded Oblique Photographs (Marton): Will be provided through the Army Photo Center.
9. Photo Interpretation: A Third Army Photo Center will be established. (See G-2 plan, Annex No. 8) First phase interpretation may be disseminated over the army artillery radio net.

13. Antiaircraft, tank and tank destroyer units: use of antiaircraft gun battalions, tank battalions and tank destroyer units to reinforce the fires of artillery units will be ordered only when it does not interfere with their primary missions. When this support is ordered, the senior artillery commander will coordinate such fires and assist in furnishing data for firing.

Dear Folks,
Guess you thought we had pulled out, but no such luck. We are going to be here a little longer. Everyone is on edge from sitting around and waiting.
There has been little or no slack in the work we have had to do – it seems as if there aren’t enough hours per day to do our work.
It sure seems funny not to see you or to know you are around, I sure did enjoy seeing you two every minute and hope you had as much fun as I did.
Our last party at Oakdale left me limp for three days. I could hardly wait till time to go to bed. It sure was fun and everyone said they really enjoyed it and wanted me to thank you for a swell time. Our parting was certainly an unusual one, but the best kind – no one had time to be sad – it’s over before you know it.
Since you left, I have stayed at the Inn several nights. It cast $4.00 for a cab and after 0100 hours the bus line doesn’t operate – it’s cheaper to get a room and hitch a ride out with Duker or Torres. Wink and I spent the weekend there – I went to the church just up the hill past the stoplight Sunday and the service was lively. Far superior to the one downtown. It was a little like our own in G.E. I’m going again next Sunday, I think. The last two days were spent in the carbine & pistol range. The sun was terrible, and I came in as red as a beet and with a killer headache – the sad thing was that our water didn’t arrive until 1600 hours.
Saturday we are having our Battalion Officers party at the Club. It’s to be our final fling. On Monday we are having a big party for all of the men at the lake and casino you pass on the way to Coyne’s. It ought to be loads of fun for all of them. I’ve been given a real job – entertaining officers – responsible for getting the Bn. off and on the train. It’s a scientific job – got to be done just so!
I got the caps from Field’s and they fit just fine.
I’m so glad you and Dad had a nice trip home and I’ll bet it was a real thrill to see the two boys again. Did they change much? Know Peg was glad to see you. She probably needs a rest now!!
When you two left here you sure looked like you were the idle rich who spent their time in Florida. You sure were brown – bet you’re the envy of one and all. Al said that Arbie had gotten a real nice letter from you. Also Cap’t Coyne got your address to send to Mrs. C. Have you written to her yet? Jane said that she wanted to send you a picture. She was so relieved when I told her that you and Dad both liked her. She said that it was easier that way cause you would have to get used to her – in the long run. She is real swell. Do you really like her? You said you liked Betsy too, remember?
Her folks got home Sunday – made it in one day. They were both sorry not to have seen you, but – sooner or later you can make it.
Would you like Jane to come up for a visit someday? Let me know how that strikes you.
You probably will get a package from me someday with some extra cloths in it. You can do anything you want with them.
Have got to close now – will drop you a line in a few days. All are well and happy and send their best regards.
Much love to all
Tom.
Camp Gordon shuttle bus
Dear Folks,
Hot as he!! Everyone is panting and dripping wet – the scene is hot enough to curl a camel’s tail.
Our Battalion party is coming off in a few hours, so we are all taking it kind of easy.
It sure was good to hear your voice the other day – glad to hear you all are feeling so good. I know the garden must look real good, and that you are having fun with your flowers.
Capt. Torres and I are going over to the Q.M. in a minute to – and it struck me that I have very little dough. My combat pants, jacket & boots – coupled with taxi fares and hotel bills has made a dent. Could you have pop send me $50.00 from my U.S. Checks? Hate to ask for it, but I need it.
Jane and everyone sends there love,
Love to all,
Tom.
Dear Folks,
Someone said it was 92 degrees yesterday but I believe it was 192. We had Service practice and as usual were on the bald hill with only the sun to see us. It was a good day – we borrowed 4 105’s and 400 rds. of ammo and shot all day.
I got to do one from the plane. My first one and it was pretty good – I had a mission of smoking a hill so that our infantry could attack. This morning I had to register on a Base point as a forward observer would. We had a break – we were in the shade. Two generals were there – I guess all was ok ’cause they didn’t have much to say.
The party was fun – everyone enjoyed themselves very much. Jane was so happy that you liked her so much – all she said for 5 min. was “golly” she was real cute.
Got to run – must supervise a class.
Much love
Tom,
Did you send the $50.00?

The Captain Joseph T. Lyons family – Joseph Jr., born 9th February 1944, Esther and Joseph Sr. Photo was taken at a studio in Augusta Georgia prior to the 244th shipping out.
Dear Folks,
Got your letter yesterday and I’m glad to hear that it is rather cool. It has been rotten up to this time, but right now it’s cloudy and cool.
The Battalion is off on a service practice and I am left here as OD. A good deal, cause it gives me a chance to lie around.
Frank Manger is getting married Sunday – Bob is Best Man and some of us are ushers. It’s to be held in town at a Methodist Church.
Have you been able to sell the car yet? Sure do miss it down here. We, as yet, don’t know when D-day is. All of us hope it comes soon because sitting around is a real bore.
Haven’t taken any pictures yet – I’ll do it through – never fear. Wink. Capt. Coyen & I took Jane out the other night. Had a lot of fun in the Bamboo Room at the Inn. It’s the only cool place in town.
Mrs. Galway, Garland & Perfetti have all returned – the Inn is 2/3 244th people. I complete the deal when I stay there.
Everyone is well here – my best to all. Jane sends her love.
Much love
Tom.
