Seeking origin of WWII "The Yank Carrier"

Christian Belena Mar 19, 2020 1:55 PM

The FDR Library recently received a donation which contained the 8-page newsletter "The Yank Carrier" (13 April 1945) from a transport (according to the text.) However, the newsletter does not contain the name of the transport. Hoping someone may have seen another newsletter from this same transport and are able to provide the name of the vessel. Attached is a scan of the cover. Thank you

Dear Mr. Belena,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Unfortunately, Army and Navy ship created newsletters are considered to be temporary records. Internal communications like newsletters were created at print shops on the ship and there were no record copies kept. We also could not find any information online. We regret that we could not be of further assistance.

If you have not done so already, you may wish to contact the US Army Transportation Corps Museum and the Naval Heritage and History Command to inquire as to whether they have information about such publications.
