Issued during World War II by the U.S. War Department, this compact Roman Catholic New Testament was distributed to soldiers serving in theaters of war from Europe to the Pacific. Printed in durable format for field use, it served as both a spiritual companion and morale booster for Catholic servicemen. The book reflects the Army s recognition of faith as an essential element of wartime endurance and unity. Many of these copies were carried into battle, signed by chaplains, or inscribed by soldiers to loved ones, making them poignant artifacts of personal faith amidst global conflict. Solder IDed Sam Grasso with date "44". Cover shows wear, spine tear see photo.
