Description
Item Description:	Text on verso. "Lt. Col. Leslie O. Scott, Commanding". Various cartoons make light of serious situations like taking prisoners of war, working under enemy bombardment, and the exodus of French refugees. Lighthearted elements include Axis leaders consulting a Magic 8 Ball (upper right) and the welcome of women and wine on the outskirts of Paris. A somber title cartouche summarizes the training of the battalion and shows a single soldier carrying a spade (a tool of choice for the engineers).--Bookseller. Shows route from Normandy, through France, Belgium and Holland, to Aachen, Germany.
