NORMANDY INVASION SHORT SNORTERS

Philip Mernick writes: "A few months ago a friend showed me some notes.
They were military issues of 1944 for use in France and had been signed
and dated during the invasion of Normandy. Could these be classified
as "short snorters"?"

[I believe the answer is yes, although many short snorters have
signatures dated over a longer period of time, chronicling a soldier
or airman's journey through the war.  If the note is signed on only
one occasion is it a short snorter or just a souvenir?  Regardless,
these notes would be fun to research - it would be interesting to
learn to stories of the signers.  See the next item for a new tool
for military research.  -Editor]
