The front page has a nice banner headline: "OUR TROOPS SWEEP PAST ORAN, MOVE ON TUNISIA; FIGHT AT CASABLANCA; BRITISH LAND AT ALGIERS; GIRAUD IN COMMAND OF FRENCH AIDING ALLIES" with subheads and related map. (see images) Nice for display. Coverage on Operation Torch, the British-American invasion of French North Africa. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete in 48 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
