Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Single sheet printed both sides in blue, black and red 51x35cm, folding down to 9x18cm with illustrated title panel and text panel by Yank Staff Correspondent Sergeant Burtt Evans. Printed by Army Exchange Service and distributed by I&E Branch, OTI, Persian Gulf Command. Good or better with clos…ed tears and tanning to outer panels. Undated but c1944-45 based on Evans' reference to the Battle of Anzio. Apparently prepared by "Yank - The Army Weekly", this was given to GIs joining "the most elaborate and worthwhile recreational project of the Persian Gulf Command". Subsidised by the US Army, this involved transporting thousands of soldiers from Khorramshahr to Basra by truck, on to Baghdad by Iraq State Railways, and finally by truck through the Syrian Desert to the Tel Litwinsky Leave Center in Tel Aviv. The 3,000 mile round trip took up to 6 days each way, with a few days to visit sites across the Holy Land. This was mainly for enlisted personnel with most officers travelling by air. Evans advises that "There's no question about it - it's a gruelling truck trip both ways for PGC GIs, but the week in Palestine is worth it. The Red Cross caters to every soldier's whim; and the Army does something better: it leaves you alone". He invites them to check in at the Leave Center from where "smartly planned, economical tours to Bethlehem, Jerusalem and places of Biblical interest in Palestine are conducted by the Red Cross". They may also want to enjoy Tel Aviv "the nearest thing to the States", modern with unlimited food and liquor, bathing beaches and bathing beauties etc. One side of the sheet presents a pictorial route map bounded by Tehran to the head of the Persian Gulf and "Neutral Territory" in the east, and the Palestine and Lebanon coasts in the west. Features include settlements, road and rail links, boundaries, and water features. The route is marked with flags for Tehran, Khorramshahr, Basra, Baghdad, Mafrak, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with a train and truck convoy shown pictorially. This is bordered by several drawings including 5 ms-style daily diary entries. These give impressions of the journey and its stopping points including the British camp at Rutbah and its facilities, the availability of Tom Collins in Baghdad etc. The other side contains two detailed plans of Jerusalem and Jaffa-Tel Aviv. Labels cover cultural, recreational, religious, military, administrative, diplomatic and other locations. Both include "out of bounds" advice in red for the Old City, and a swathe of Tel Aviv coast. A table of distances from Tel Aviv suggests the tours available. There is also a b/w photo of Jerusalem seen from the Mount of Olives, and an advert for "Yank". A rare survivor. (Ref: Lt-Col Danny M. Johnson, "The Persian Gulf Command and the Lend-Lease Mission to the Soviet Union during World War II", Army Historical Foundation).

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.875 inches by 11.625 inches. Personal inscription on fep regarding visiting the rooms. No dust jacket present. Cover has some wear and soiling. Albert A. Klimcheck was the supervising architect. Designed and printed in four-color li…thography by Herbick & Held, Inc. Pittsburgh. Type set in Monotype Bembo. Paper is 100 pound Yorkshire Vellum. The cover is stamped in gold. The eighteen International Classrooms which circle the vaulted Commons Room of the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning are rooms with a view, a view which encompasses all mankind. The Rooms are masterful renditions of the finest artistic traditions of ethnic groups, but they are also vital symbols of the University's far-reaching program of international cultural and educational exchange. The Nationality Committees had their beginnings in 1925, at the time that the University of Pittsburgh was engaged in erecting its soaring Cathedral of Learning. The Nationality Committees eventually comprised nearly a half million people. Some of the rooms are originals, some are re-creations, but all were designed by architects from the countries they represent. It was in 1946 that the University, in cooperation with these Committees, instituted a formal program of educational exchange. In June, 1960, U.S. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter said: "The University of Pittsburgh has caught the vision of a new horizon." The Nationality Rooms are a group of 31 classrooms in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning depicting and donated by the national and ethnic groups that helped build the city of Pittsburgh. The rooms are designated as a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation historical landmark and are located on the 1st and 3rd floors of the Cathedral of Learning, itself a national historic landmark on the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Although of museum caliber, 29 of the 31 rooms are used as daily classrooms by University of Pittsburgh faculty and students, while the other two (the Early American and Syrian-Lebanon) are display rooms viewed through glass doors, utilized primarily for special events, and can only be explored via special guided tour. The Nationality Rooms also serve in a vigorous program of intercultural involvement and exchange in which the original organizing committees for the rooms remain as participants and which includes a program of annual student scholarship to facilitate study abroad. In addition, the Nationality Rooms inspire lectures, seminars, concerts exhibitions, and social events which focus on the various heritages and traditions of the nations represented. The national, traditional, and religious holidays of the nations represented are celebrated on campus and the rooms are appropriately decorated to reflect these occasions. The Nationality Rooms are available daily for public tours as long as the particular room is not being used for a class or other university function. The English Room, classroom 144, was designed by Albert A. Klimcheck in 16th century Tudor Gothic style, and reflects major aspects of American History: English language and law. It is the largest of the Nationality Rooms and contains a large amount original material from London's House of Commons which was destroyed by bombs during World War II. Each window bears a coat of arms representing an English city, or a famous English person from history. The English room was dedicated November 21, 1952. This room, along with twenty five other Nationality Rooms all with different architectural styles, was conceived in the 1920s by sociologist Ruth Crawford Mitchell as a means of linking the university with the immigrant culture of the steel working families.
