WALLACE & TIERNAN PRODUCTS INCORPORATED 

BELLEVILLE, NEW JERSEY 

February 17, 1943 

Lt. Colonel Freedman, 

TechnicaJ. Director, 

Signal Securities Service, 

Arlington School, 

4000 Lee Boulevard, 

Arlington, Va • 

.Dear Colonel Fr-eedma.:nl 

You will recaJ.l that on January 25, 1943, I wrote you about Albert Koehler, 

one of our junionr engineers, who was formally inducted into the service on 

January 26. 

It is possible that Mr. Koehler's ~ualifications did not come up to your requirements but again possibly he was moved out of Fort Dix before you were 

able to make the necessary request. 

I have just had a letter :f'rom Mr. Koehler who has been classified for the 

Corps of Engineers and has been sent to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. The 

following may be of interest to you: 

Quoted from Mr. Koehler's letter 

"I did all right in the classification tests, 13;i in the Anny classification exam., and 141 in the mechanical aptitude test. The 133 was 

the second highest in my platoon of sixty men, and the 147 was the 

highest. I could qualify for Officers Candidate School but there are 

so many graduates and professional engineers that I will probably remain as an enlisted man. 

I think I am headed for a drafting or surveying school." 

I am bringing this matter to your attention only because I know you are very 

anxious to obtain the best possible men for your branch of the service. In 

case you wish to take any action in this matter I am listing below Mr: Koehler's 

present address: 

Albert Koehler, 

32759950 

Company D - 28th BattaJ.ion, Second Platoon, 

Engineers Replacement Training Center, 

Camp Leon:ard Wood, Missouri. 

Kindest regards.
