Any dates on the books ?

I only saw a date in one of them and it was 1943. I know they are all from around that era as they make reference to WW2 like it was currently happening...
Will get back to you on who printed them for the War Department....(I'm at work right now)...Thanks-Russ

Looked closer and found dates in the other two: great Britain is from 1943 and the Belgium one is from 1944.
From what I gather, it's the War Department that published these, as they all have that name up front. The Belgium one does also say "Prepared by Army Information Branch Information And Education Divisions...and the Britain one says it was prepared by Special Service Divsion, Army Service Forces. The French one says nothing about who prepared it...

Hope that helps...Thanks.

You can Google the titles and get an idea of what they look like. I'll be watching this.
