31st Regiment news May of 1921
This is the other newspaper I managed to salvage from fleabay some months ago. It's actually more interesting than the other that was filled with company reports from guys who tried to be humorous. There is a large piece written by the Regiment Commander that goes into great detail of how the Regiment was organized. It's interesting in that it was right after WWI and lessons learned had turned into assumptions of future combat. Of course at the time nobody was looking forward to WWII which was a couple decades in the future when radio communication and air force bombing and two widely separated enemy forces made trench warfare pretty unlikely. The assumption that trench warfare was the new mode of killing the hell out of each nations youth seemed pretty much a matter of faith...with a few twists.
