Talk:Infantry (magazine)

Seriously Wrong
This article is in serious need of a major overhaul. Whoever wrote this had no idea what they were talking about. The Infantry Journal had absolutely nothing to do with Infantry Magazine. The Infantry Journal was published by the Infantry Association. Over the years that became the Combat Forces Journal and eventually Army magazine put out by the Association of the US Army (AUSA). See https://www.ausa.org/publications-news The AUSA was created by a merger of the US Infantry Association with the US Army Field Artillery Association. See https://books.google.com/books?id=GyAiAQAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=%22combat%20forces%20journal%22&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false The problem with the little theory expounded on in the article is that the Infantry Journal and Infantry Mailing List (produced by the Infantry School at first Camp and then Fort Benning, GA) were being published side by side throughout WW2 so it's ridiculous on its face that the Infantry Journal "became" the Mailing List. Volume I of the Mailing List in its revised form by order of General George Marshall was in 1930 https://www.marshallfoundation.org/library/digital-archive/infantry-school-quarterly-vol-1-1930-31/ The Mailing List ran under that name until Vol 30 in April 1947 then in July 1947 Vol 30 was published of the renamed and reformatted Infantry School Quarterly. With the Vol 47, #2 April 1957 issue it was renamed and reformatted again into INFANTRY magazine. Here is the 1947 Infantry Journal https://books.google.com/books?id=K4HpAAAAMAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=%22infantry%20journal%22&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false and here is the Infantry School Mailing List also from 1947 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951d00133432m&view=1up&seq=7&skin=2021 so they were hardly forbears or descendants to each other.John Simpson54 (talk) 04:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
