Good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEighteen issues of this scarce British-American weekly published in Italy during WWII. Notably, the staff included two WACs, Corporal Catherine Rice and Seargeant Shirley Colker, both of whom contribute articles. The focus of the paper is primarily the extracurricular entertainment and activities available to British and American troops in the area, with numerous stories on performances at the local opera houses, places to sightsee, good beaches for R\u0026amp;R, and so on. One article notes that English lessons are available for the Italian wives of American soldiers; another comments on an upcoming exhibition of soldier's paintings; another of a pair of WAC slacks that caught on fire in the WAC Battalion and brought out the firemen in a hurry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, a light but interesting look at life behind the lines in Italy during the tail end of the war, significant for including British and Amerian, and men and women, troop activities.
