Mr. Champeau relates his experiences as a soldier in World War II. He discusses his participation in the European theatre as well as his involvement in some of the final battles of the war in Western Europe.

Mr. St. George, a native of Simpsonm, MN., served in the U.S. Army from January 1945. He was sent to Australia with the 32nd Divison, then assigned the staff of Yank, an Army publication distributed to U.S. servicemen overseas during much of the war. He covered troup loadings in New Guinea and the Phillipines for Yank, and also contributed catroons. After the war he remained in the field of journalism and at the time of the interview was a columnist with the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The interview is focused on Mr. St. George's somewhat unusual wartime role as a news reporter in uniform.
