Photocopied Magazine Articles, Photocopied Photographs, Typewritten Letter. In a photocopy of an interview article from "The Yank" Edward Martin "Bud" Taylor and five other platoon sergeants share their thoughts about combat tactics and experiences. The men were selected as six of the best platoon sergeants in the Division. The article is entitled "Old Soldiers Never Die" referring to the fact that most soldiers who had already lived through combat continued to live through combat, while new recruits and replacements with no combat time were often killed in their first engagements. Also included from "The Yank" is a copy of several poems written by soldiers during World War II, and a photocopy of two pictures of soldiers, one with Taylor in it.
