Item description from seller

27cm. Typewritten and mimeo'd on beige newsprint, with a hand-drawn banner for each issue. Staple bound to upper left corner. 4pp. per issue, with the 11th Nov. "Souvenir Edition" running to 6pp. Very light edgewear and a little soiling, all issues very good. Apparently produced on board ship for the journey home to the US from the European Theatre of Operations after the surrender of the Axis powers and the early months of building a post-war custodial infrastructure in Europe and Japan. The first page of each issue concentrates on prominent news from home including new contracts for $2 million in steel contracts to France and the USSR, and the appointment of William O'Dwyer as Mayor of New York by a landslide majority. Of particular interest is the "Inquiring Reporter" column on page 2 where a roving shipboard journalist asks pertinent questions of the day to serving men; "Do you favor one year of compulsory military training for your son or brother?" is met with a variety of answers, including "It shouldn't be for more than a year, too many of us are going back into civilian life now with the best years of our life gone. I wouldn't want it to happen again." and "No! I am definitely not in favor of it.Let the youth of tomorrow alone." 8th November's question is "Do you think you'll be able to take up againi with your wife or sweetheart exactly where you left off?" with answers ranging from "Readjustment will apply only to those few who needed to make domestic changes before their induction." to "The bride to be has already married. I will now have to readjust myself to single life instead of married life." The 11th November souvenir edition commemorates USS Lejeune's imminent arrival in US waters, and bids farewell to the servicemen they have transported from the European theatre. No record of the publication is evident in OCLC, perhaps unsurprisingly given the ephemeral nature of the publication.
