GUINEA GOLD - WWII's Jungle Telegraph Standard Portrait 7.75 x 9.75 in, 20 x 25 cm, 72 pages. Fixed-layout eBook, 160 pages |
||
In WWII New Guinea, GUINEA GOLD's brief was to present news to all
troops "in the field" and to avoid editorial comment. It published for
1320 continuous days, without missing a single edition. At its peak,
distribution was 37,000 to US forces and 27,000 to Australian forces,
daily. That's 34 million copies in two years. Maximum readership was
estimated at 800,000.
This SPECIAL retrospective edition was created as my father thought it
important enough to keep ten copies in his footlocker once he made it
home from his war.
My father was assigned to MacArthur's HQ, originally in Brisbane, and
thereafter to Hollandia, Tacloban and Manila. Along the way he collected
several souvenirs, of which these GUINEA GOLD newspapers are a historic
highlight.
Two print editions were released - a normal print-on-demand softcover
edition and a SPECIAL HARDCOVER EDITION in choice of Dust Cover or Image
Wrap.
