| Do you have any info on the 74th Army Postal Unit,
APO 189 stationed at Pirmasens? I was there with the 74th. About the 74th Army Postal Unit. I was stationed with the 74th from Sept.1, 1959 till April 2, 1962. After Postal School I was sent to Fort Dix, NJ for 3 weeks OJT with the 22nd Base Post Office. Then was sent to Germany on the USNS Upshur and came home on the USNS Rose. The 74th had One Postal Officer and 16 enlisted men of which 3 men were stationed at Zweibruecken and operated APO 872. We also had 2 one man units. Unit 1 was in the basement of one of the buildings in the dependent housing area just down from the PX and Unit 2 was in Munchweiler at the 225th Station Hospital. I was assigned to Unit 1 from Oct 1959 thru March 1962. I also worked Unit 2 a few times. The 74th Army Postal Unit was responsible for providing mail service to the Army Units in and around Pirmasens also to the dependents. We received our mail from APO 227 in Kaiserslautern which acted as our Base Post Office until the Berlin Crisis and the the 22nd (?) Base Post Office was set up in Kaiserslautern and then we got our mail from them. I do know that the 22nd was in Manila in the Philippines in WWII and that the 74th & 70th Postal Units were in that area. Best I can remember, the 70th Army Postal Unit operated APO 227 (1). I know the Company Commander of the 22nd Base Post Office that was in Manila, and some of the men that were in the 22nd. I would like to know more history on the 74th Army Postal Unit and if it is still active. (1) Webmaster note: the US Army Station List for 17 August 1959, indicates that it was actually the 73rd APU that was stationed in Kaiserslautern. So, which BPO was responsible for the 74th (and 73rd) during this period? |
