Yank combined war news, battle stories and photographs, evaluations of America's Allies efforts, current events, the grim realities of front line life, social commentary, sports, entertainment, sex (pinups), cartoons (Sad Sack and others), home front, and a "mail call" section. "Written by soldiers, for soldiers," the articles were written by enlisted rank servicemen and made available to U.S servicemen throughout the world. Yank was not sold publicly, and remained part of the serviceman's experience. "Yank, The Army Weekly, was a phenomenon of World War II that provided an insight into the nature of the American soldier that always will be valid. It provided an irreverent and honest account of the sharing, suffering, and frustrations of 14 million civilians in uniform during World War II." - The best of Yank. The tabloid magazine cost 5 cents and issue and was the most popular newspaper for American soldiers in WWII. Issues of YANK were distributed directly to combat units free of charge along with other vital supplies. Some of the most interesting issues include: Oct. 5, 1945.
