All,

Does anyone know about military morale radios post-WW1 and pre-WW2?
Here is a picture of a Kellogg set from 1926. Big stencil numbers across the front... Thinking it is an inventory number. I think it could have been to feed broadcasts to VA patient wards like sets supplied under the Sun-Roxy Radio Fund, circa 1924.  I do know that the American Legion took over the program.  Or, could it have been at an officers club?

There is reference to radio listeners at the VA hospital in Asheville NC circa 1926 at the end of this page:

Maybe you or some of your military communication buddies know something about this… 

Thank you,
