[No place: 635th Engineers Camouflage Company, 1945. Softcover. Very Good. Mimeographed leaves printed rectos only, prong-bound at the top in unprinted wrappers. 35, [3] (company roster), [9] (war-time correspondence), 1, [1] (recommendation of award) leaves. Crease on rear wrap, bottom corner of last text leaf torn away with the loss of several words, On certain portions the mimeographed lettering is light and has been gone over by hand with ink, some corrections in the text in ink, overall very good. With original envelope sent from the HQ of the 635th Engineers Camouflage Company to First Sergeant George F. Lorch.

A detailed chronology of a highly skilled camouflage company that notably participated in the misdirection activities of the allies leading up to Operation Overlord (D-Day), among other things. Includes detailed personnel movements. Obviously without an assigned title or author searching for additional copies is problematic - we could find no copies in any resource. Fragile and in a slightly ungainly format, the Company, because of its specialized nature included few soldiers in its ranks (the roster lists about 135 alumni of the Company), and consequently few copies of this would have been prepared - perhaps as few as 200. It isn't at all unlikely that this copy could be unique.
