1942 Pocket Guide To North Africa
#7

Dear "Head Peep" (I think you should have a better title M1. Something like Grand Exalted Poobah Peep :D ),

 

 

I've got the book & will ask my pal Tom to scan portions (he's got the lastest photoshop software etc).

 

It's says: "Pocket Guide To North Africa For use of Military Personnel only...prepared by Special Services Division, Services Of Supply United States Army". "War and Navy Departments". It's got a cute cartoon on the front cover. On the inside back - it says: "US Government Printing Office 1942". It's 4" x 5" & 44 pages.

 

Contents:

 

Introduction

Three Years Of Struggle

Springboard to Europe

We were there before

People of North Africa

The Bond Of Islam

Political Divisions

Country Of Contrasts

Town and Country

Dining With Moslems

Customs At Mealtimes

Details Of Native Dress

Shops & Markets

North African Social Life

Warning The Women

Study The Language

The Faith Of Islam

Land Of The Living Saints

Rules For Health

Some General Rules

Check List Of Do's & Don'ts

Other Arabic Phrases

 

It also has a North Africa Map. Let me know which things you want me to have scanned.

The intro says:" You are to do your duty in North Africa as a soldier of the United States,

and this guidebook has been prepared to assist you in serving in a strange country as well as to give you a more complete understanding of why you are fighting there & to make your service a more worthwhile experience.

 

No other American Force has been given a more important mission..."
