註釋Assigned to several different units, Mustard was promoted to full lieutenant, and also made battalion surgeon; he was awarded a Purple Heart in August 1945 for a shrapnel wound received in March 1945; other letters were written by Mustard from Camp Elliott (California), aboard the troop transport ship en route to the Pacific, and at New Caledonia. Writing on 15 August 1945, the day of the Japanese surrender, Mustard's father, writing from New York, described his celebration of the war's end on the night before, and admitted that he could once again look to the future with his son and urged him to write as soon as he could and "tell us how the surrender looks from a fox hole." Letter, 19 August 1945, the elder Dr. Mustard described the celebration in New York City following the Japanese surrender, "There are still a few reminders of the recent victory celebration ... the paper that these people shower down from the tall buildings - usually, only the office buildings. This time the apartment dwellers seemed to have wanted to do that too and lacking ticker-tape etc., they resorted to toilet paper! Evidently held one end and threw the roll out the window. The result is that trees, aerials, poles etc., are festooned with the stuff - some even on the trees in Central Park!"
