A "camp newspaper" printed on board a transport ship...

Item # 698303

November 18, 1945

THE NEWSBUOY, Nov. 18, 1945, printed on board the U.S.S. Gen. Blatchford, a transport ship from World War II. As for its location, the black page notes: "Aboard Ship, at Sea--But Never Enough to See Land".
This is a "camp newspaper", one of hundreds of which were printed aboard ships, at forts, in camps during WWII, etc. Much like the others, it is crudely produced with amateurish illustrations and typewriter-set on single sheets of paper.
This appears to be the final issue as the full back page is the: "Last Will & Testament" for The Newsboy. The full front page is an illustration of the Blatchford arriving at Seattle, the "Rainbow's End" as it transported many troops from the battlefields of the Far East back to America.
Six pages on separate sheets stapled at the top, 8 by 13 inches, foxing to the front page, minor margin wear.
