This note came today from Jim West regarding work on the Indiana Military Site:
I am slowing beginning to add all the issues of Camp Atterbury's CAMP CRIER, the weekly newspaper of the World War II era.
They contain tons of references to the 30th, 83rd, 92nd and 106th Infantry Divisions.
All of 1942 issues are there now, and about half of 1943. This is a major undertaking, and will take time to complete. Should you find any errors, please let me know. I will continue to add issues almost daily, so check back if the dates you want are not there yet.
The copies are from much-used original microfilms. It is obvious that the person making the copies wasn't too interested in doing a good job. While most are decent copies, some are pretty hard to read. Plus many contain scratches from viewing in a microfilm viewer over the years. But, having said all that, I believe these are the best copies available.
Happy Hunting !!
