    Description

    I found this book among the effects of a neighbor of mine who had passed away.  Apparently, she had had a border that had left this with her among other things when he passed.  Whoever he might have been, this seems to have been important to him.  The binding is still tight and in my humble opinion has seen little use.  When I found it, the book was wrapped in what seems archival paper and in a very sturdy box.
    I can find no inscriptions or other indicators of ownership.  Please ask all questions prior to bidding.

    Description
    Foreword
    In editing this, the history of the 13th Airborne Division, we hope that we have not committed the grievous error of considering our commission as merely a personal honor. We feel that the honor and the high responsibility entailed therewith allows us an opportunity to render a real service to our comrades and to our beloved Division. It is our most sincere hope that in the years to come, when the memory of recent days fade, you may take this book in your lap and recall memories of friends -- of trials and triumphs -- of days we spent together in the 13th Airborne Division.
