The US Army 1941–45
Author: Philip Katcher
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780967853
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
At the time of the Second World War, the United States Army took an unusual approach, for the period, towards the design of its uniforms. Rather than attempt to find an all-purpose outfit, such as the British battledress, it attempted to design special-purpose dress for every possible duty, from combat in cold climates to dress parades in hot ones. Here Philip Katcher provides an extensive examination of the many different types of uniform and equipment which saw service during the conflict.

U.S. Army Life 1941 -- 1945: In the Letters of Theodore Pattengill Foster
Author: Lille Foster
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387579703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Theodore P. Foster loved to receive letters-more so at boot camp than anywhere he had ever been. He corresponded with twenty-three people from 1941 to 1945-his parents, his sisters, aunts and uncles, cousins and close friends. These letters were saved by his parents, Theodore G. and Margaret P. Foster. The collection of letters came into my possession in the late 1990's. They sat in a Hollinger box at my home for twenty years. I have extensively footnoted the collection in order to identify the people, places, events, objects and obsolete terms mentioned in the letters. A big drawback to transcribing the letters was Theodore P. Foster's poor spelling. I wanted the reader to read his words exactly as he had written them-spelling and punctuation mistakes included. My father never learned the spelling rule, "I Before E Except After C" and wrote 'recieve' hundreds of times in his letters. I think you will enjoy reading these interesting and informative letters.
