There is very little bare wall space available. When D-Day came, special maps of the French invasion coast were distributed as far as the supply lasted. These were smaller in size, about 18" X 18", specially designed for overseas distribution. The Newsmaps are too large for overseas distribution. A smaller type, IIV2” by 17'/j" is used for that purpose. These are more convenient for the bed patient who would prefer to have a map on his bed, rather than strain his eyes trying to read what is on the wall at the opposite side of the ward.
In addition to the Newsmaps, the walls of every ward have had other visual materials that kept the war ever-present : color photographs of well-known planes, a poster describing the fabrication of Kaiser Liberty Ships, armored vehicles, and portraits of great military leaders.
In addition to these, if the soldier is confined to his bed because of a cast or because his p 0 s t-operative treatment demands bed-care, he can see several types of movies from his bedside. A projection machine is wheeled into his ward, the windows are darkened with a few GI blankets, and the ward is converted into a theatre. These are the types of movies he may see :
1. Training Films, usually the latest issued, which he did not see before he came into the hospital.
2. Combat Bulletins, which were filmed on the spot in various combat areas.
3. G.I. Movies, a weekly series containing travelogs, educational narratives, Army-Navy Screen Magazines, comedies. These are all 16mm sound. They are supplied by the War Department.
In addition to these educational movies, the Red Cross in the hospital shows 16mm com
