The Ist Army Tank Battalion is resnonsible for an outstandingly good military publication, called “The-Black Beret” to mark the first anniversary of its establishment. Profusely illustrated, the pictures giving an excellent idea of the life and duties of the battalion in camp and on field training, the booklet also contains a vivaciously written history of the development of the unit. Somp of the pictures of the battalion are most graphic in showing the conditions experienced in’its first winter of work. Striking the note for this particular collection is one entitled, “Anybody seen my tank?” It shows several Valentines buried to their turrets in snow.
