A soldier-written poem about the "Men of Mars." The original poem, hand-written on five pages and found between the pages of the book "The Marauders," was written by Pfc. Wade D. Hall of the 475th Infantry, a unit of the Mars Task Force. Beautifully written, it has been transcribed for easier reading or printing. The original hand-written pages can also be viewed.

CBI Roundup Memorandum

Here is an interesting bit of history related to CBI Roundup, newspaper of the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II.

The page shows a post-war memorandum that appears to be a training exercise from the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The memorandum was issued in June of 1946, after the war and after Roundup had ceased publication.
