The Naval Station at Gloucester City was turned over to the Coast Guard at the end of World War II and remained in use until 1988. It was used as the headquarters of the Officer of the Post and the location from which the river pilots serviced shipping. It is possible that it Became a naval station when the Coast Guard was augmented into the US Navy at the Beginning of the war. Prior and post-war usages can only be identified by a USCGS corner card.

With the end of the war, the aeronautical activities were discontinued or shipped to Wright Field near Dayton, Ohio. The Radio Laboratory continued to function at a reduced level of intensity and all Signal Corp schools were consolidated at Vail in August 1919. In 1920, the school assumed responsi-bility for ROTC instruction. At the same time, the camp became the center for instruction in meteorolgy and photography. During the 1920's, the camp became the center for Army motion picture production training.

FORT MONMOUTH, NEW JERSEY

Fort Monmouth today is one of the nation's centers of communications and electronics research and the headquarters of the Army command that makes up a significant part of the Signal Corps. The sprawling installation traces its origins to a World War I cantonment built on the site of the old Monmouth Park Racetrack. Its post offices have serviced hundreds of thousands of troops during the past 75 years, although distinctive postmarks have only been used for perhaps half that long.

Long Branch, New Jersey opened a new race cource on July 4, 1890 that featured a 0 mile track and a steel grandstand seating 10,000. However, only three years after its opening, the New Jersey legislature banned horseracing. One casualty was the "Jersey Derby" that was relocated to Louisville, Kentucky to become the "Run for the Roses".

LtCol. Carl F. Hartmann, who as the chief signal officer of the Eastern Department of the Army at Governors Island, New York, was directly involved in finding a training site. Melvin van Keuren of Eatontown was induced to lease the race course to the Army for $115,300 and LtCol. Hartmann assumed command of Camp Little Silver on June 17, 1917. On the following day, the First and Second Telegraph Battalions arrived. By month's end, the encampment held 25 officers and 451 enlisted men. During July, a Reserve Officers Training Battalion was activated and several tactical signal units became operational.

On September 15, 1917, the camp's name was officially changed to Camp Alfred Vailand it was placed on a semi-permanent basis. A large number of wooden buildings had been constructed during that summer to house troops, training classes, and equipment. Alfred Vail had become an associate of Samuel F.B. Morse and is credited with inventing the Morse alphabet of dots & dashes. By October 18, 1917 the first unit left the camp for embarkation to France, so the training course was intensive and quick.

Camp Vail was selected in late 1917 for experiments in aircraft radio communications,aerial photography, and aerial direction-finding. Laboratory buildings and an air field were quickly constructed; the 122ns Aero Squadron operated 28 aircraft from this facility. Carrier pigeons, used for communi-cation by all the armies in World War I, became a part of the Camp Vail training mission in November 1917 with the establishment of the Pigeon Breeding and Training Section.

WAR DEPARTMENT

Major Thomas B. Profzman, M. C. STATru-IN HOSPITAL Fort Monmalith N

Office Memorandum Number 64, Offices of the Chief Signal Officer, 6 August 1925 stated: "The station now known as Camp Alfred Vail, New Jersey, is being announced in War Department General Orders as a permanent military post and will hereafter be designated as 'Fort Monmouth', New Jersey. Mail to that post will be addressed to Fort Monmouth, Oceanport, New Jersey." This suggests that the Oceanport post office served the installation and that it did not have a post office of its own.

During the 1920's and 1930"s, Fort Monmouth continued to serve as the Army communications research and training center as well as the chief provider of carrier pigeons. As the Army began to develope mechanized forces, the labor-atories worked on the radios needed to control them. Here, too, the Army developed the walkie-talkie and radar.

World War II began early for Fort Monmouth as the build up in Signal Corps strenght commenced in 1939. A Signal Corps Replacement Training Center and the Officer Candidate School were established along with expanded laboratory facilities. Additional camps (Camp Edison and Camp Charles Wood) were sited in the nearby areas for particular development activities. By December 1942 Fort Monmouth held 14,518 military and civilian personnel.

Just as the build-up for the war began early, the phase-down began in May 1943. Some missions, such as the Eatontown Signal Laboratory, were transferred to other components and later moved. Eatontown Signal became Watson Lab, became a part of the Army Air Force, and was moved after World War II to Griffiths Air Force Base, New York.

Development in radar did not stop. On January 10, 1946 a radar antenna at the Belmar, New Jersey remote site bounced the first radar signal off the moon as part of Project Diana. In 1949, the Army established the Signal Corps Center to consolidate diverse activities (which still included the pigeon breeding station). By 1953, at the height of the Korean War, the postal facil-ities at Fort Monmouth was serving 17,358 personnel. Fort Monmouth continues today as the headquarters of the Army Communications Electronics Command.

Covers from Fort Monmouth seem to be characterized by a return address. With the exception of the Alfred Vail Rural Station marking, there does not seem to have been a distinctive postal marking used for this installation. Signals intelligence units have operated at the installation for handling sensitive materials so that there seems to have been no particular need for a post office to control mail. Several substantial towns are in close proximity to the fort, which provide the needed postal services.

Kay & Smith do not list the establishment of naval post offices (though they do list the other military post offices). In fact the only data published to date is a listing of Naval Offices and periods of use by Con V. Pankevich in the NJPH, September 1974 issue. This aspect of New Jersey's postal history would seem to remain a fertile area for fact-finding and publication.

FORT DIX

Also included in this issue are examples of markings used at Camp & Fort Dix. A short history of this post office appeared in the May 1976 issue of NJPH as well as an illustration of the TRENTON NJ DIX BRANCH machine marking used during the World War I period.

In the January 1989 issue of NJPH, we learned some of the background of the post office at Ralston, New Jersey. Below are shown some oc the markings used in the past 50 years, as well as correpondence from various postmasters attesting to the age of the post office building and some (temporary) relocations.

Ralston, NJ June 16 '41

Dear Miss Crane,

Just a line to tell you I received permission to move the Post office over to our own place & moved last Monday. It is much better & more comfortable over here for me. Time magazine of June 16 has the picture of the old Post office & a short article about it.

I am not sure but I think Mrs. Jennings must have given the reported the news as I told her I was to [sic] busy to go to the meeting & really I was. Part of the town is quite upset at it especially the ones with money. But they

went a mile past to get their mail at Mendham as they were ashamed of the old building so I don't see how they can make me move back.

Sincerely yours, C. Groenengen

Two years later, the Ralston postmaster wrote another letter to tell of the newest developments in the story.

Ralston, NJ 8/9/43

Harry Haines Jr Dear Sir:

I received permission from the Post Office Dept to move the P.O. to a small building on my own place three [sic] years ago. Since then the old building has been bought by the Ralston Historical Society & is being repaired. The old building was built used for a General Store until 1892 when the first post-

master was appointed. I am the fifth. Here's wishing you the best of luck in the Navy. I am, respectfully yours
