The first issue of "East Sweden Tidings", a monthly church newsletter, explaining the purpose of the Tidings to be communication with the troops of World War II; sending individual holiday greetings from the men of the congregation; and containing a sermon that encourages an "All Out" commitment of both the troops and the congregation to "restore God's peace on earth" and to "win the spiritual conflicts between right and wrong on the battlefields of the soul."

Postcard from "Freddie Stalhammar" of Stockholm, Sweden to "Joe C. Willis" of Brady, Texas. The image on the front of the postcard depicts a harbor, with many sailboats docked side by side along the water's edge.
