Comment:	A great addition to the site! This one is aimed at the military readers during the war and has some nice good girl art. One off colour joke near the back could offend but this was the era. Thanks to Narf for scanning this!

Comment:	This, at least, seems to confirm that Mirth of a Nation, Yankee Comics, Riggin' Bill, and Pvt. Bill were 1943: https://archive.org/details/sim_writers-digest_1943-09_22/page/26/ Is this supposed to have continued from Riggin' Bill number, do you think? Never mind, I see that GCD lists 1–4.
