The picture shows the cover and some sample pages of this ©1943 ''Guide Book To The U.S. Army'' Book. The images are great and we wish we could show all of the pages. This (64) page book has at least (53) pages of United States Army images. With each is information. The images are similar to old World War II era bubble gum trading cards. The book is like a set of cards. The images are all with brown tones like those shown. The title page has much print and credits. Some of it reads as follows: THE U. S.
