"I wrote it!"

It’s a good thing they didn’t have “The Stand” back then, or soldiers might get shot.

I concur ... "Not Guilty".

You know guys, maybe you should read the article, which is actually very interesting and informative. And for the record, she’s quite good looking.

I have a couple of Armed Services editions in my collection. They were shaped to fit into the cargo pocket of GI fatigues.

Paperbacks sort of killed of pulp mags, and I’m a bit more partial to pulp mags. Blood-n-thunder stuff... “G-Men Detective,” “Jungle Stories,” “Dime Western,” “Thrilling Mystery,” “Popular Detective,” etc.

My Dad was in the infantry in New Guinea. He told me about finding a whole crate of these paperbacks dumped on the beach for the GIs to pick through. He said those books kept him sane.

Also, why is everyone picking on this woman's appearance? She's a very, very fine-looking lady.

I believe this is a WWI poster, but is close enough for government work.

Lovely story.

I agree, not guilty. One of the few things I have from my dad's time in WWII is a small red hardcover book titled 'The Soldier's Word & Phrase Book. English, French & German.

Just what it sounds like. It's about 3x5x1/4", and has an inches and centimetres ruler on the back. In the front cover, in pencil, is my dad's name and rank, c/o his Fleet P.O., in New York, and June 6, 1944.

He landed on Utah Beach.
