Description

This original WW2-era Service Ribbon Guide was published with the cooperation of the War Department and the U.S. Merchant Marine to assist military personnel and civilians in identifying and understanding the significance of service ribbons worn by members of the U.S. Army and Merchant Marine during the war. The booklet provides a full-color reference to service ribbons, arranged in order of precedence, and explains their historical and military context. It includes a foreword discussing the importance of these awards and the uniform regulations governing their wear during wartime.

The cover features period artwork depicting a U.S. Army soldier and a Merchant Marine sailor, symbolizing the collaboration between these two branches during WW2. The back cover prominently displays the Shell Oil logo, indicating sponsorship or distribution by the company, which played a crucial role in wartime fuel production and military support. The booklet is complete and in good condition, with some wear consistent with age. A valuable reference for collectors of WW2 militaria, insignia guides, or military history publications.
