WWII US Army Pocket New Testament
This is a 1942 United States Government Printing Office New Testament, specifically prepared for use by Protestant personnel of the US Army. It features a foreword from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, dated March 6, 1941, commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces. The book includes presentation pages for personalization, intended for recording the recipient’s details and next of kin.
Condition and Collectibility
This pocket New Testament shows signs of age and use consistent with its wartime origins. The cover exhibits wear and discoloration, and the pages show some tanning. This bible is a poignant piece of American military history, offering a glimpse into the spiritual lives of soldiers during World War II. It would be a valuable addition to a collection of military memorabilia, religious artifacts, or historical documents.
