Summary

The first GI Collector's Guide (published in 2003) was inspired by the much sought-after 1943 u.s. Quartermaster Government Issue Supply Catalog. This second volume features a further 1,000 newly commissioned color photographs of the American soldier's kit from 1943 to 1945 -featuring items and pieces that were not included in the first volume.

Excerpts

After the release of Volume 1, many readers and collectors pointed out several pieces they possessed which were missing from the book. Although including each and every item issued to the American soldier is a near impossible goal, the author started making a list of what should included in a reprint. All chapters from volume 1 have been revised and updated (among others: uniforms, signal and medical equipment) and new sections have been added, including personal equipment, Stateside training, and the life of POWs in German camps. More than 1,000 new artefacts with detailed captions are featured in this completely revised new work. Volume 2 of the G.I. Collector's Guide provides a complete and unequaled source of American ground force documentation for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
