My first wife left me in the early ‘70’s for an SF guy who had been a West Point Cadet. She knew I had an affinity for books, especially books relating to the military.
One day she called me (we were stationed at Ft. Bragg). He was paying alimony and child support from his first marriage and he was deployed somewhere. She was broke so she offered to sell me some of his books. I jumped at the offer and among the books I got were a 1939 edition of Mien Kamph; a 1924 Harvard essay titled “The Next War”; a 1955 Army guide to Writings of American Military History; and the one I really love a 1917 guide to Army Paperwork.
The Army Paperwork book is full of actual examples of completed US Army forms and paperwork from the WWI era!
I knew the SF soldier and he tried for years to get his books back - I, of course, would never give them up.
