Cpl Noel Charles Reed was from Fairfield Vermont as a Military Police Officer.
During WW2 women were deployed throughout Europe and the Pacific and their only means to communicate home was through letters, handwritten notes to assure those at home they were alright and waiting for letters from their loved ones to provide semblance of support and normalcy. Over the years I have collected letters with the intention of returning to family - but first I’d like to share who these men were, where were they from and the context of where the soldiers were and what role they played in the War.
Please sit back and get to know these members of the greatest generation. Please visit me on Facebook, or email me at warandfamily@outlook.com and help me get the letters home
Also please check out Roch n' Rumble! A nonprofit organization that provides an opportunity to veterans to learn how to play an instrument. Instruments and instructions are provided to veterans - please consider donating funds, or perhaps an instrument to find out how, lease visit Rocknrumble.Boston

Speaker 1 (00:22):
And welcome again too, Lauren Family Letters Home. I'm your
podcast host, Lauren Muse. In this podcast, we talk about
letters written by US servicemen and women in World War II.
I find the letters and antique stores and auction sites.
I researched the letter writer, where they were from, what
(00:42):
their families were like, and how they served in the
war and what they did after the war. It's my
hope that someone will hear the podcast, recognize family connections,
and contact me. My mission is to return World War
II history to families, and these letters home belong home
with descendants, to cherish and show with pride. Our letter
(01:15):
for this week's podcast was written by Corporal Noel Charles Reed,
US Army Military Police. Noel Charles Reed was born October seventh,
nineteen ten, in Sheldon, Vermont. He was the only son
(01:39):
of Leslie and Elsa Reed, and he had an older
sister named Helen. Noel's grandfather brought his family to the
USA from Canada in eighteen ninety four and bought a farm.
The family lived there in nineteen ten, and I find
them also there in nineteen thirty and the census tells
(01:59):
us that Noel dad is now a naturalized citizen of
the USA. We also find that Knowl is nineteen years
old and he's working as a delivery driver for his dad.
In nineteen forty, the family is still working that farm
and Noel, at twenty nine years old, is now driving
the truck to deliver milk. On October sixteenth, nineteen forty,
(02:24):
Noel went to the local draft board of Franklin County,
Saint Albans, Vermont and registered for the draft. He's described
as five foot four, one hundred and fifty pounds, blue eyes,
brown hair, and a light complexion. It's also noted that
he had a scar on his right wrist. It does
(02:45):
note that he worked for his father and very interesting
his sister, Helen, was the registrar that signed off on
his registration. In a news article on February tenth, nineteen
forty one, in the Saint Albans Daily Messenger, I found
an article talking about three rulings for three local men
(03:07):
appealing for deferral from service due to occupation. But it
wasn't until the fall of nineteen forty two that the
status of two seas was established, which exempted farmers from
being drafted. So even though Noel was an only son
working on a family farm. His deferral was denied, and
(03:27):
on February twenty fourth, nineteen forty one, Knowle was called
up to service in the U. S. Army. As with
all inductees, Private Noel Reed attended his training and before
being shipped overseas, was granted a furlough to go home.
On December thirty first, nineteen forty one, the Burlington Free
(03:48):
Press reported that among the Fairfield soldiers home on furlough
are Noel Red and Francis Roddy. We then find Corporal
Noel Charles Reed serving with the seventy seven forty seventh
Military Police Railway Security Headquarters, Detachment three hundred and eighty
(04:10):
eight Military Police Battalion. During World War II, military police
had many assignments, providing security for runways, bomb dumps, protecting aircraft.
They escorted and guarded prisoners, controlled traffic, investigated crime, and
provided general police work. They also evacuated wounded and cleared
(04:35):
beaches after invasions. The first letter I have was written
by Corporal Reed to his parents on November nineteenth, nineteen
forty four, and it's noted that he is somewhere in France.
Dear folks. I wrote last night, but had two letters
from you today, so I'm writing again. It's my day
(04:56):
to write anyway. I've had six letters from U this month,
and all were V mail. These today were the seventh
and eighth, and that's not such bad mail service. Guess
you get mine in about two weeks. The mail clerk
says some packages are coming in now and that are
not so old, so I'm hoping some of mine will
(05:18):
show up. I see by the calendar it's dear season.
There's a fellow here with me from Pennsylvania that's a
dear hunter. We talk about it sitting around the fire
at night. I finished my washing that I had started
this morning. I don't think I got them clean, but
they're better than they were. I doubt very much about
(05:39):
getting the free press. It seems that newspapers are the
last things to come through. Guess it would be just
as well not to bother with it, and you just
send clippings. It seems that you were getting snow pretty early.
I suppose that's just as good as the mud. Though
it seems funny that Dessault should be home in the
(06:00):
Duchies still here in France as they were in the
same outfit. Did you tell me that Hope was back
in the army? Ola must be pretty sick. Hope she
gets along all right. I'll be looking for the letter
from texts. It's been a long while since he wrote,
had pork chops for supper tonight. Guess I've written everything
(06:22):
for this time. I'm still trying to get that French
pipe for PA. I have shaving lotion now, got some
French kind in the PX. Glad to get all those
vmails more soon. I'm okay, love Sonny. I did look
up the Vermont snowfall in November of nineteen forty four.
(06:46):
I'm a bit of a weather geek, and there was
a storm that dropped about a foot of snow in
November of nineteen forty four. On December twenty second, nineteen
forty four, Corporal Read Again wrote home from somewhere in France.
Dear folks, send me the address of some of the
boys I know. If you can, I might be able
(07:09):
to look them up. One of the boys found his
brother who he hadn't seen in two years. These are
the first few letters for quite a while. Maybe more
will show up now that they've started. I've been busy
moving the last two days. It didn't take too long
to move, but had to set up the rooms, such
as set up the stove and the radio, and make
(07:30):
sure the place was more livable as only GI's can.
It's nearly Christmas, but doesn't feel like it. You see
a few Christmas trees and wooden toys in the store
windows around town, and that's about it. I see some
turkeys in the mess hall tonight, so I guess we'll
have turkey. It's time for bed, so I guess this
(07:52):
is it for this time. More soon, Love Sonny. On
March eighth, nineteen teen forty five, the Saint Alban's Daily
Messenger reported that missus Leslie Reid has received word that
her son Noel Read has received his Christmas box sent
to him by the citizens of Fairfield. Noel wishes to
(08:16):
thank all of those who help in any way in
sending these boxes. The box was received February seventeen. In
the same paper, it was reported that Noel's sister Helen
was holding a card party for the benefit of the
Red Cross Drive at her home on March eleventh. I
(08:37):
actually have quite a few letters that Corporo. Reid wrote
home but the very last letter I have is dated
September fourth, nineteen forty five. The war in Europe has
been over for about four months, and now he can
reveal to his parents that he is in e Sir
T in France. E Sir T is lowcated, about twelve
(09:01):
miles from Dijon on the Ignon River. He is also
now with Company D seven hundred and ninety fourth Police Battalion.
The seven hundred and ninety fourth MPs rode the train
providing security. A team of MPs would board the trains
and when the train stopped at stations, they would post
guard on both sides of the train, watching for looters
(09:24):
of supply cargo Corporo Read writes, dear folks, things are
just the same here. I worked last night from midnight
to eight this morning, have twenty four hours off now,
so you can see it isn't such a bad job.
I slept all day, getting up in time to make supper.
(09:45):
The railroad business is slowing up lately. There was only
one train in the eight hours, so I got a
little sleep there too. I should have gone to Dijon
today for the PX, but didn't make it yesterday, being
labor day it was closed. Everyone has holidays but us.
The only way you can tell when Sunday comes is
(10:06):
buy the chicken dinner. If they would slip up and
have it Saturday or Monday, you wouldn't know where you
were at. The first sergeant was up to see us
last night and also this morning. Guess I told you
I used to know him back in Iceland. He took
over this job as the old one left for home.
He brought the payroll around to get signed. You probably
(10:29):
read in the paper about us getting more money this
month eight hundred and fifty francs. That's from the French
government to take care of inflation or something. Had a
letter from Norm. He's at Camp Edwards and has a
good deal. I suppose he is all set now, as
they have lowered the points to eighty and he has
more than that. That doesn't mean so much over here,
(10:53):
but I guess back home you would get out pretty quick.
There's nothing new about going home as yet. Everything's okay,
love Sonny. I was curious about the eight hundred and
fifty francs increase in pay and I found an article
in the Brooklyn Eagle of August twenty first, nineteen forty
(11:13):
five that explained it. The headline read French to pay
bonus to American soldiers, Washington, August twenty first up. American
soldiers in France are going to get a seventeen dollars
a month cost of living bonus, and the French government
will foot the bill to increase the GI's purchasing power
(11:34):
and equalize the exchange rate, which is now twenty five
francs to the dollar. The French government will give each
American soldier eight hundred and fifty francs a month. The
action follows bitter complaints by American servicemen that their regular
pay was disappearing too fast because of the inflationary prices
(11:54):
prevailing in France. News did come soon after Corporal Read's
letter about his going home, and he was sent home
to Vermont an honorably discharged from the US Army on
October ninth, nineteen forty five. He returned to the farm
with his parents, and on the nineteen fifty census we
(12:17):
see that he took up his position of driving the
milk truck again for his dad. Noel was an avid hunter,
and I found newspaper articles reporting of many hunting trips
and some out of the country. He continued working the
farm and seems to have had a close relationship with
his sister and his niece. He never married. On November twelfth,
(12:42):
two thousand and four, the Saint Albans Messenger reported that
Noel c. Reid passed away Tuesday, November ninth at Northwestern
Medical Center in Saint Albans. The article continues he was
a resident of Fairfield most of his life, where he
owned an and operated a dairy farm for fifty years,
(13:03):
retiring in nineteen sixty nine. He also drove a milk
truck from nineteen twenty seven to nineteen sixty one. He
was a member of the Sheldon Methodist Church, and since
two thousand one he had made his home at Broadway
Residence in Enos Falls. Noel c. Reed is buried in
(13:24):
the Sheldon Village Cemetery in Sheldon, Vermont. His gravestone notes
that he was discharged as a Tech five from the U. S. Army.
Men and women served in many capacities in World War II.
The military police guarded supplies, food, weapons, and always were
(13:46):
on the lookout for enemy sabotage. It's important to remember
these men and give thanks for their part in defeating
the Axis Powers. Thank you for joining me for another
(14:06):
story of a World War II hero. If you know
of the Read family of Fairfield, Vermont, please share my
podcast with them this holiday season. I can think of
nothing better than to return his letter home to family.
You can find me on Facebook at Warren Family Letters Home,
and I can be reached via email at Warren Family
(14:28):
at outlook dot com. All details in this podcast were
discovered by research done by me using public military genealogy
and newspaper search sites. The original letters written by Corporal
Noel C. Reid were obtained by me through an auction site.
(14:56):
I'd like to take a minute to talk to you
about an organization that's come to my attention. My cousin
John Boudreau, a US Air Force veteran, shared his support
of Rock and Rumble, a music education program for veterans.
The Rock and Rumble mission is to provide therapeutic and
artistic experience for veterans. They endeavor to add more to
(15:19):
the veteran community, and what better way than playing music.
Humans make music to tell stories they might not otherwise tell,
and we should be here to listen. The president of
this not for profit is Charlie Rumble, a US Army
combat veteran and currently active duty National Guard. Rock and
(15:43):
Rumble provides not only music lessons, but provides instruments to veterans.
Music's always been an important thing in my life and
I've seen the positive power it can bring. Please check
out this amazing organization. Their website is Rock and Rumble
that's roc k n r U M b l E
(16:06):
dot Boston, and you can also reach them via email
at contact at Rock and Rumble dot Boston. Your support
will help them to provide music lessons, instruments and practice spaces.
Instrument donations are welcome as well, and for a twenty
five dollars donation you get a Rock and Rumble t shirt.
(16:28):
You can also hear my cousin's thoughts on this organization yourself.
