This is the Army Song Book, compiled by the Adjutant General's Office in collaboration with the Library of Congress and published by order of the Secretary of War in 1941.
The tan paper cover is toned, with a name written in pen on the front and a pencil sketch on the back, and the pages are whole with no rips or tears, as the photos show.
The songs start with The Star Spangled Banner and run through military anthems, folk songs, and novelty numbers such as The Infantry, I've Been Workin' on de Railroad, It's a Long Way to Tipperary, The Army Air Corps, Song of the Signal Corps, and Battle Hymn of the Republic. The title page notes the book is the property of the United States Government, and the cover shows a crowd of singing cartoon figures.
