Leatherbound softcover address, 6 x 9, entitled ‘That We Might Learn to Live as Bravely as They Died…’ A Memorial Day Address General Omar Bradley, Longmeadow, Massachusetts 1948. Signed and inscribed on the third free end page, “To Miss Mary Pitcairn, With appreciation for your loyal and untiring assistance. Omar N. Bradley.” Scattered light rubbing and wear to covers, and complete surface loss to spine, otherwise fine condition.
During World War II, Mary Pitcairn (1920-2009) was a volunteer in the American Red Cross. In the fall of 1943, she went to England where she and her fellow volunteers learned how to operate Red Cross Clubmobile trucks. Six weeks after D-Day, she landed with her Clubmobile crew on Utah Beach, following the Twelfth Army Group across France, Belgium, and Luxembourg during the summer and winter of 1944, then into Germany in the Spring of 1945. After the war, Miss Pitcairn returned to Washington to serve as secretary to General Omar Bradley, first in the newly established Veterans Administration and then in the Pentagon when Gen. Bradley became Army Chief of Staff.
