you have a 1943 GI French Language Guide War Department Manual. It is an early WWII item that was issued to GIs and Paratroopers in combat outfits facing the anticipated D Day invasion of Europe. Army Airmen who might be shot down over occupied France also used this guide. The booklet designation is TM 30-302. T is a forward from Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall representing the War Department. The guide is not intended to give the GI a complete knowledge of spoken French. T are phrases and words for general conversation, location, numbers, directions, money, time, making inquiries, etc. T is a section on road signs. T are 62 pages of text and sketches to reinforce learning. The booklet was carried in the war and you can see some wear to the cover. Some one after the war inked ostensibly a yard sale price on the cover. I have included a photograph from page 236 of GI, Government Issue, A Collector's Guide to the European Theatre. First Class Postage in a padded bag with tracking slip would be fine in lieu of my standard US Postal Service Priority Mail. This 1943 French Language Guide issued to combat soldiers in anticipation of D Day and in excellent condition would make a wonderful addition, upgrade and/or completion to a WWII GI Field collection. The language guide book would be perfect to add to your re-enactor's outfit, and would look terrific in your display, museums, and for educational and theatrical presentations. I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front pieces, etc, this week. Please do a seller-search using my username: martinolij to check it out. Thank you.
Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing's conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Checks are fine but I generally clear them. Money Orders and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip. I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag so a delivery tracking slip can be used. The cost of First Class includes the padded pad. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal purchases of $250 and larger, a signature return receipt/tracking and insurance are mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. Shipping options will be provided. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items ($250 or over) are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat One Rate Envelope or First Class Mail International (the cost of the First Class includes a padded bag). Surface mail is not an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions. I will try my best to answer all those that are received by Friday. (I am not always available on weekends when the items close.) If you perceive a discrepancy between the photos and description you should bring this to my attention for clarification before you bid. When bidding, consider what the item is worth and what you can afford. A winning bid represents a legal and binding contract. All winni...
