THE STARS AND STRIPES WAS A NEWS PAPER CONCIEVED BY A VETERAN OF THE SPANISH -AMERICAN WAR, THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN FRANCE FROM FEB 8, 1918-JUNE 13, 1919.
MANAGED, WRITTEN, PUBLISHED AND DISTRIBUTED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY ENLISTED MEN, THE STARS AND STRIPES BECAME THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES.
THE STARS AND STRIPES WAS AN OPTIMISTIC AND INSPIRATIONAL VOICE TO THE SOLDIERS IN FRANCE, OFFERING SOMETHING FREE FROM PROPAGANDA THAT MADE HOME SEEM CLOSER. THIS IS A REALLY NEAT PIECE OF HISTORY AND WOULD BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO SOMEONE'S WWI COLLECTION.
