    Description

    Each issue is 5 5/8 x 8 1/2" & 12 pages counting the covers. These are crude, apparently soldier written & published at Pine Camp which was rapidly enlarged during the Second World War & in 1945 renamed Fort Drum. There always seems to be some bad humor as well as base news & gossip. Issues here are Jan 18, 1940, Jan 11, 25, Feb 1 , Feb 15, Feb 22, March 1 & 8-all 1941. Interesting look at a northern base on the verge of war time.
