1945566New Caledonia 1945. Very good. Two issues 16pp. total. Old horizontal fold. Light tanning. Two Spring 1945 issues of this rare U.S. armed forces newspaper published in New Caledonia in the South Pacific Ocean both full of momentous war news. The first dated April 15 leads with the headline "F.D.R. Makes Last Trip to Washington" and provides an account of the return of Roosevelt's body from New York to the White House. A second sizable article reports on major Allied advances in Europe and a large map printed on the third page shows American British and Russian forces closing in on Berlin. Several other articles provide accounts of American victories against the Japanese in the Philippines and Okinawa and of bombing raids on Tokyo. The second issue dated may 5 is headlined "Allies Mop Up In Reich" and documents the collapse of the German armies in the days before the final surrender and is further highlighted by a cartoon depicting Hitler being stuck outside the gates of Hell until his death is confirmed by the Allied command. This issue also contains items of local interest such as scheduled social events for that Saturday night and the program for Sunday church services. OCLC locates only a scattered run of the periodical at the U.S. Army War College Library and copies of the May 8 1945 V-E Day issue at UC Davis Western Michigan and the University of Georgia as well as single issues at four Australian and New Zealand institutions. unknown books
