Lieutenant George Lyon is seen in this photograph taken on November 20, 1918, inspecting and censoring Christmas mail for American soldiers overseas. The board of censors carefully examines mail that has not been previously inspected by local Red Cross chapters. This mail is intended for soldiers in overseas camps and must be repacked and inspected before being sent out. This image has been marked as "issued for official use only" and is not intended for publication.
