This is one in a series of issues of “Newsmap” that were published from 1942 to 1946 by the U.S. Army. This issue covers the week of August 28 to September 4, 1942.
“Newsmap” was distributed to members of the military and provided news about the progress of World War II. Each issue generally includes information on the front and back, featuring text, photographs, illustrations, and maps. The back is usually a poster.
The publications were designed for posting on bulletin boards or other display areas. The front would have been displayed during the week the publication was issued; and on the following week the back was displayed.
