Description

An American map titled "Newsmap for the Armed Forces: Monday, June 12, 1944." The map of the coastlines of England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands shows rivers, roads, international boundaries, relief, and other details. The map of the Schouten Islands shows rivers and the location of the Allied landing at Bosnek on Biak Island. The inset of New Guinea and adjacent areas identifies international boundaries, rivers, and other details. The map of the Italian front shows rivers, roads, drainage canals, relief, the battle line as of May 11, 1944, and points of Allied activity during the current offensive. Printed text reveals news on multiple fronts. Printed text and a photograph on the back describes the importance of the infantry. The text reads in part: "These tough fighters must seize, mop up, and press on, or the ground is not won. As the Infantry moves-so moves the battle-line."
