1942 New Testament United States Army
Found this today. It's a 1941/42 copy of the New Testament presented by the Army of The United States. This is a Protestant version. It has an Army issue number on the back. The owner page is not filled out.

Here's an idea of what a typical WW2 soldier would carry..

Very cool find Dave, I'm sure this book gave soldiers alot of comfort facing an unknown future
I also understand that the Chief of Chaplains of the United States Army wrote in the back of the book "A soldier who knows the Word of God and honestly tries to observe His laws is a man of power and influence among his fellows and exalts his military service to the high level of religious faith, courage and loyalty."
Personally.... I think that is awesome :)
Thank you for the comments Jenni..I'm sure it was a scary time and lots of praying going on.
Falcon61..Added a screenshot of the last page. Thanks, I had seen it and meant to capture both start and end.
