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.”
