Randolph Leigh (Lt. Col. C.M.P. Historical Section Etousa) wrote the foreword in June 1945 in Paris. The foreword starts: This book is not intended as a definitive history of this phase of the American effort in Europe, but simply as a souvenir to recall for the soldier the highlights of the great project in which he had a part. Obviously one person could not gather and evaluate all the material for a book on the Services of Supply of the U. S. Army in the ETO.

Actually more than 100 persons, ranging from a Pfc to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, contributed variously. Ten generals, for instance, read proof and criticized chapters dealing with their particular branches. The material as a whole, however, was gathered through the Historical Section, ETOUSA, and by the historians of the staff sections.
This 4-5/8 x 7-1/2 inch, 238-page book has interesting chapters on the supplies needed to support US Army troops on the front line after the D-Day invasion in Normandy in June 1945. It contains fascinating, detailed comparisons between World War I and World War II on ‘non-operating personnel’, engineers, military vehicles, gasoline, weapons and ammunition, casualties, venereal disease, the cost of the war effort and more.
