World War II as Lived by Salvatore B. Simeone by Call Number: 940.5481 S589wPublication Date: 2015By a former Norwich University student, Arthur J. "Skinney" McKay, ex- Class of 1907, including both his experiences in the British Army in World War I and his education at Norwich University.
From the Norwich University Record, Volume X, Issue 1: We commend "Shellproof Mack" to the readers of the Record. It will bring to every reader a clearer picture of the war as it goes home to the chap in the trenches than will the reading of more pretentious books dressed up with set purpose by the literary 4 fellers."
