1942 WWII War Department Personal Affairs Military Personnel Dependents Army Manual

Original World War II era U.S. War Department booklet titled Personal Affairs of Military Personnel and Their Dependents, published by the United States Government Printing Office in Washington in 1942.

This wartime reference provided military personnel and their families with guidance on important personal, financial and legal matters during military service. Topics include National Service Life Insurance, Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act protections, mortgages and leases, automobiles, federal income taxes, chaplain services, American National Red Cross assistance, and procedures and expenses related to burial when death occurred during military service.

The final page is issued by order of the Secretary of War and identifies General George C. Marshall as Chief of Staff. An interesting original WWII government publication with strong military, genealogy, home-front and historical research appeal.
