Printed "in the field" in the jungles of New Guinea...



Item # 701784

June 07, 1944

GUINEA GOLD, "American Edition", June 7, 1944  Hailing itself as the "most bombed newspaper", this military publication was printed in the jungles of New Guinea, hence the title.
The headline announces: "INVASION ON ! " and: "ALLIED ARMIES LAND ON NORTH COAST OF FRANCE" with related text. The back page has: "Landing In Europe Preceded By Terrific Hammering Of Enemy Positions".
Terrific to have a D-Day report in a military newspaper.
Four pages, 10 1/2 by 15 1/4 inches, great condition.
