Research Roundup
Taking a bit of a break from cleaning in preparation for my mother's arrival this afternoon and looking after a slightly ill pupper to pull together a bunch of random articles, reports, and other resources I've stumbled across over the last few weeks and want to save for future use. Some of these links are more useful than others and, as always, your mileage may vary, but hopefully some good comes out of them for someone else too:
- A "Glossary of Common Military Terms" from the Veterans resources hub on Mental Health America of Wisconsin, of all places.
- A table detailing the average monthly base pay of various ranks of American GIs during WWII from r/AskHistorians.
- "100 Years of New York Night Life: The Impenetrable Velvet Ropes of the Post-War Era" from Paper Magazine.
- "Employment of Women in the Thirties" from Medium.
- The 53rd Infantry's 1941 Unit Book from Fort Ord, digitized by the Command History Office of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center.
- A listing of Lancaster County Pennsylvania Railroad stations (and stations belonging to previously extant lines later absorbed into the PRR).
