According to Milton Caniff's biographer, on page 31 of his biography it says that he delivered (sp.?) telegrams during World War 1. I'm thinking that since I'd be commmitting a federal offence if I were to impersonate a military officer delivering a fake telegram to the parents of my enemies' who are overseas in the armed forces saying that they've been killed, I can impersonate a Western Union telegram messenger who's doing this.
"I knew that the message I carried would turn that blue star into gold. Many of these families never received a telegram before, so I think some of them senced what the contents were before I presented the ominous yellow envelope. Occassionally, I had to read the telegram to frantic parents, too emotional to face the task. Then there were recipients who simply could not read."
