The U.S. Army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, for 1918 and 1919, has been digitized and put on line by the Library of Congress. If you have a relative who served in France in World War I, you might find some interesting information. Or you might not. Be aware that that paper was run by the Army and as such was heavily censored and “bad news” was unlikely to appear in it. I just looked so far at a few pages (I have no direct ancestors who were in WWI) and it looks slow going. But if you go to the bottom of the page, you can scan the pages faster by looking at the OCR (optical character recognition) version of the pages. A computer scanned the pages and converted the characters into type. There may be mistakes, so if you find something interesting, be sure to go back to the original image, print it out and check it for your self. Ray Marshall Minneapolis
