Douglass, and Post Morale Singing Officer 2nd Lieutenant Alexander M. Sulloway. Text comprised of song lyrics only without any musical scores. OCLC only locates two copies at member institutions with Berea College evidently owning the same 1943 imprint and the University of Mississippi possessing a 1944 imprint. Only a good+ copy but US Army Air Forces base-printed soldier morale material is exceptionally uncommon as it would have been issued to servicemen in training and discarded prior to an overseas combat assignment.
