The 274th Infantry Regiment
last week came through with the
initial “3rd Battalion Information
Bulletin," which was immediately
acclaimed by GIs of the 3rd Bat­
talion as a welcome innovation.
Volume 1, Number 1, made its
debut with the announcement of a
contest with a prize of $10.00 open
to all men in the unit for an ap­
propriate name for the 3rd Bat­
talion.
Outlining the mission and the
editorial policy, Bulletin publishers
make it clear that “anything in the
nature of gripes, confessions, sug­
gestions, etc., will be kept strictly
confidential . . . but will not sub­
stitute for a visit to the Chaplain.”
