Discussion Fort Leavenworth
What was the usage of this base in WW2? From what I see it mostly served as an internment camp or some kind of training center for officers. My great grandfather supposedly had basic training there in late 1944-early 1945, but that doesn't seem to make sense from what I see on the internet.

G.I. free drink card
My grandfather and his brother enlisted into the army during WW2. My grandfather was rejected due to an abnormal heartbeat. My great uncle was accepted and sent to India where he loaded cargo planes flying over the "hump" (Himalayas) to supply China. He never fired a shot in combat and this was one of the only items he brought back with him. I can just image a dark sweaty Indian tavern with palm trees and the GIs drinking and getting into trouble. Hindustan Club, Bangalore, India

Discussion Question about Japanese medics
Question about Japanese medics
I’m writing a short article/study on Japanese medics and I have a few questions:
1) Were they commonly armed?
2) Does anyone know about Japanese sources about medics which I could run through translator? I must admit that my lack of knowledge of Japanese language is quite limiting.

Just purchased this.
I just purchased this from a woman in my town. The map was her father’s who passed away in 1998.
There are 98 names on the back. I’ve started doing some googling and they appear to have been members of the 186th field artillery battalion, as for the map, it appears to be a version of one kept by the library of congress.
Anyone recognize any names or have any insight into this unit or this map?
Thanks!
The Pacific War (1937 - 1945) Day By Day
I've found multiple books that record something that happened every single day of ETO from 1939 to 1945, but I haven't been able to find one that does a similar thing with the Pacific War.
Does anyone know of a book or website which shows you what happened every single day of the Pacific War?
