Handwritten Draft Memoir/Request Letter Page, U.S. Army Transportation Officer, CBI Theater, WWII (Page 058) - Calcutta Leave, Self-Study of Law, and Prewar Accounting Profession
The author recalls buying law books on leave in Calcutta in September 1943 and pursuing self-study of law during quiet nights in Assam, an interest that led the local Judge Advocate General's office to appoint him to a general court-martial panel. He also reveals that accountancy was his prewar profession, adding depth to the picture of the varied civilian backgrounds Army officers brought to the CBI Theater. Project: 218607
