Raymond G. Moses memorandums, 1943-1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62322980

General description of the collection: The Raymond G. Moses collection contains three memorandums written by Brigadier General Moses to General Walter Bedell Smith between 8 September 1943 to 10 November 1945. The first memorandum dated 8 September 1943, was written shortly after Moses arrived in the European Theater of Operations and contains his initial impression of the need for a general supply plan for the proposed Channel crossing operation. In Moses's second memorandum written on 19 September 1943, he disagrees with the proposed organization of American General Headquarters, arguing the command G-4 officer (supply service) should not also be a commander of the Communications Zone. The last memorandum dated 10 November 1945 was written to Smith, but intended to be shown to General Eisenhower. In it, Moses warns of potential pressure from the ASF to remain independent from the General Staff in Washington, and stresses the need for experienced supply men to serve as G-4's at all levels of command.
