The Stars and Stripes: Doughboy Journalism in World War I (Contributions in Military Studies)

Cornebise, Alfred E.

Business & Money

Praeger

Since the Revolutionary War, American military men have published troop newspapers to provide amusement, to keep themselves informed, to aid in maintaining morale, and to encourage those engaged in boring or dangerous pursuits. Beginning as informal ventures, these papers received official sanction as high command began to realize their morale benefits and eventually became an accepted adjunct to the waging of war. Based on a close reading of many soldiers' newspapers, this volume is the first book to provide a historical survey of the U.S. military press from the Revolutionary War to the present. Drawing on the rich detail in the troop newspapers, the book also provides a social record of the attitudes, aspirations, and life of those engaged in war, and considers the increasingly controversial issue of freedom of the press in war time.Taking a chronological approach, the study opens with a consideration of the Revolutionary War and turns to a consideration of the Mexican War of 1846-1848 in chapter 2. The Civil War papers are covered in chapter 3. Chapter 4 discusses the period from 1865 to 1917, when the military press matured. The next two chapters cover the ground forces papers and the air service papers of World War I. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to World War II, and the final chapter covers the period since World War II. This volume should become a standard in journalism history.

Ranks and Columns: Armed Forces Newspapers in American Wars (Contributions to the Study of Mass Media and Communications)

Hell, heaven, or Hoboken by Christmas” vowed Black Jack Pershing when the November armistice silenced the Great War, but in fact American forces occupied the Rhineland from 1918 to 1923: it was to inform and entertain those troops on foreign soil that the Amaroc News was created in 1919. The audience of the Amaroc (American Army of Occupation) News was the American doughboy, the soldier without a war, or, as Howard Rusk Long says in his Foreword, the unhappy aggregate of exiles formed into an army of occupation and forced by discipline into the deadend routine of peacetime soldiering away from home.” Thus Cornebise’s social history focuses on the soldier and the life he lived as reflected in the pages of a paper staffed primarily by military men, by men who knew the interests of the soldier in an occupation army. Cornebise sketches a chronological history of the Amaroc News, then moves quickly to the problems faced by the liveliest military newspaper after World War I. Using as his major source the Amaroc itself, records of the Army Expeditionary Forces (WWI), and other material from the National Archives, Cornebise draws parallels between the lives of the occupation soldiers of 191823 and those soldiers overseas today, especially in Germany. The peacetime doughboy had little desire to be part of an occupying force in Germany. Nobody did. Not the French, not the Belgians, not the British. The Germans decidedly did not want them there. Yet American soldiers at least had the Amaroc News, a highly colorful newspaper that gave them a blend of the concerns of most young American menwomen, sports, jobs, travel, education. But it gave them more: soldiers who read Amaroc came away with an expanded sense of the world’s events and of America’s changing position in the international picture.

A study educational opportunities offered after World War I to Am. soldiers of the Amer. Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Some stayed in Europe & studied art, attended clases at the Sorbonne, took medical courses at London's Fellowship of Medicine, read law at the Inns of Court, enrolled in veterinary classes at the U. of Edinburgh, & studied French culture & language at numerous French universities & institutes. About 10,000 men were involved in these programs. In addition, 10,000 soldier-students attended the AEF's own university at Beaune, created from nothing in a few short weeks to give them academic opportunities at the college level. For a few months in the spring of 1919, this university was the largest in the English-speaking world. Beyond the university level, other educational opportunities of various sorts were made available to virtually every soldier in the AEF. Illustrations.
