Covers the order of battle for the Corps and four Divisions, artillery barrage plans, movement, objectives, communications, liaison, etc., etc. for this first All-American campaign of World War I. VERY UNIQUE DOCUMENT. See all pictures for sample pages. I slid a white sheet a paper behind each thin page to get a better picture of the type. This is a HAND TYPED copy of the ORIGINAL SECRET ORDERS that were personally typed by LIEUTENANT N. P. PARKINSON, COMPANY D, 151st MACHINE GUN BATTALION, 42nd RAINBOW DIVISION. Just after the war in the 1920's Grandad managed to get an original of these orders on temporary loan from the US Army. He typed them out (offered here) before returning the original to the Army. He bound these typed orders in this black hardcover book for preservation. SORRY. I WILL NOT SELL OR SHIP THIS ITEM TO RUSSIA, AFRICA, OR SOUTH AMERICA DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH POSTAL SYSTEMS.
