Roy E. Larsen (1899-1979) was the circulation manager of Time Magazine at its foundation in 1922 and he became the chief business manager of the company under Henry R. Luce. He was President of Time, Inc. from 1939 to 1960, including the years of these dispatches.

The dispatches were at first closed to scholars, until the war correspondents should have had the chance to use their own reports for their books. In the early 1970s the dispatches were separated into earlier (1942-1955) and later (1956-1968) parts, and this, the earlier part, was opened to scholars. In the absence of any finding aid, however, it remained very little used.
