Originally published by the U.S.War Department and distributed in 1942 to servicemen going to Britain to prepare for the invasion of occupied Europe. Most had never been abroad before and this pamphlet's aim was to prepare these young American GIs for life in a very different country and to try to prevent any friction beween them and the local poplace. It attracted quite a lot of attention in Britain, not least because it gave an unusually direct view of how the British were seen by others. Includes a little history, info on customs, culture, manners, amusements, sports, British women at war, etc. Includes Table of Brtish currency. 1994, Bodleian Library, Oxford University, England.
