In World War II, the U.S. Army not only supplied its soldiers with the most modern equipment and uniforms, suitable for any combat situation, but went as far as providing them with their favorite drinks or candy bars, and seemingly anything else they might require. This comprehensive reference book brings together all the equipment issued to American soldiers in the European Theater of Operations, 1943–45. Each item is presented with its catalog numbers, described in detail and fully depicted in photographs, including close-ups of the labels to aid identification of items. Graphics and diagrams offer additional information and context. This second volume of the G.I. Collector's Guide is fully revised with the addition of sections including personal equipment, trophies and souvenirs, the wartime draft and Stateside training, and the life of POWs in German camps. More than one thousand new artifacts with detailed captions are featured in this completely revised new work. Expert Henri-Paul Enjames describes all variations of uniform, insignia, badges, weapons, and equipment in detail. As a complete catalog with high-quality photographs, this book is invaluable to both family historians researching grandpa's kit found in the attic and to collectors in their quest to find authentic items among the reproductions that flood the modern market.

"Seventy years ago, thousands of Allied fighting men landed on the Normandy beaches. Among these soldiers were a multitude of Americans who had come to fight, and liberate Europe. Some had no combat experience, others were veterans of the North African or Italian campaigns. This book follows the war service of fifty of these soldiers who served in the ground, air and naval forces. During the course of the war they filled a multitude of roles, from Ranger to bomber pilot, seaman on board a destroyer, or chaplain in a motorized cavalry unit. Nurses and a WAC telephone operator illustrate the part played by female personnel. Each story begins with a short look at the family background, allowing the reader to discover the origins of each soldier and his, or her education and first jobs. The study of official archives and documents kept by the soldiers help us to trace their military careers which began with registration with a draft board before being called up and undertaking basic training. The latter was followed by more specific training which could last a few weeks for a rifleman and several months for a fighter pilot. Most of these men and women made their way to the theater of operations by ship. At this stage of the stories, the unit diaries are of great help in piecing together what happened in the actual fighting which led to overall victory. The story continues with the return home for the more fortunate ones. Indeed, the huge cemeteries dotted around Europe are an eternal reminder of the sacrifice of American service personnel. On a lighter note, part of the final chapter deals with the subject of war brides. Personal photos, letters, medals and simple souvenirs that belonged to each of the men and women in this book are used to illustrate their story"--Foreword.

In more than nine decades of Girl Scouting, a vast popular and material culture has given rise to a wealth of Girl Scout history collections. More than an identification guide to uniforms, insignia, and other Girl Scout objects, this work also documents when changes occurred and why new items were introduced. Placing these objects in context, this essential guide provides a discerning look at the history and development of the Girl Scout Movement in the United States. Scholars and aficionados of Girl Scout history, costume history, women's studies, popular culture, and dress will welcome this indispensable and definitive resource. This new, expanded edition, with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, and tables, is indisputably the go-to source for information on all Girl Scout uniforms, insignia, awards, and handbooks, as well as dolls, postcards, posters, calendars, and more--from the founding of the Girl Scouts in 1912 through the present day. "An invaluable resource to Girl Scout councils managing a history collection. And, beyond that . . . an informative and intriguing glimpse . . . into the evolution of a Movement that . . . today is the world's preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls." --Cynthia B. Thompson, chair, National Board of Directors, and Kathy Cloninger, national chief executive officer, GSUSA "An indispensable reference for collectors; a fascinating resource for anyone interested in Girl Scouting, this comprehensive guide to Girl Scout memorabilia is firmly grounded in the history of the Girl Scouts of the United States. Mary Degenhardt and Judith Kirsch show us what Girl Scouts wore and read, and explain how changes in uniforms, insignia, and publications reflect the evolution of Girl Scout programs and the expansion of opportunities for American girls. Reading this book is like walking through a fine museum where material culture brings the past to life." --Anastatia Sims, author of Negotiating Boundaries of Southern Womanhood
