The institute also provided many additional services to scholars and the armed forces at its St. James's Square home. The Institute reopened formally on 28 October 1943; the session was addressed by the American commanding general of U.S. Army logistics forces in the ETO, then-Maj. Gen. [[John C. H. Lee]], who spent a substantial part of his time working with the Theater G-5 officer (Civil-Military Affairs), MG [[Ray W. Barker]]. Research facilities were opened to refugee and allied academics, whilst arrangements were made for both the [[National Institute of Economic and Social Research]] and the Polish Research Centre to relocate to the Institute following the bombing of their premises. In addition, allied officers undertook courses in international affairs at the Institute in an attempt to develop their international and political awareness as well as post-war reconstruction planning.<ref name="Carrington_63_64"/>
