Mr. Watkins stated that trained personnel will be on hand at each place to assist veterans in filling out the application forms or instructing them as to where such assistance can be secured. “All veterans are reminded that original discharge or separation papers are required,” Mr. Watkins pointed out. “There original papers have to accompany the application and it cannot be mailed until such time as the papers are on hand.” If the veteran wishes one of the above organizations to assist him in filling out his application form, he should bring his t official papers with him so they can be mailed at the same time. If he wants to take the application home and complete it himself, he should be sure to have his original papers ready to mail with the completed form.” Special envelopes will be furnished each applicant in which to mail his application and his original papers. They will be returned by the Bonus Division in the same type of envelope after they have been photostated. After the first rush of applications, it is expected that original papers will be returned in a few days after they are received in Indianapolis.
