Description

An American map titled "Newsmap for the Armed Forces: Monday, February 18, 1946." The map of Iran shows railroads, deserts, oil refineries, international boundaries, and other locations of importance. Printed text, titled "Iran: Rich Land, Poor Land," describes the history of Iran, its demographics, its oil reserves, and the United Nations Organization's effort to set up direct bilateral talks between Iran and the Soviet Union over a native uprising in Azerbaijan. Photographs on this map are of Mohamed Reza Pahlevi, British troops guarding an oil refinery at Aradian, and the Mosque of Suz. Printed text on the back, accompanied by photographs, asks soldiers: "What is your Post-Army Plan?" The text gives soldiers advice on how to plan for their post-Army future and is accompanied by a survey that gives a breakdown of those soldiers with definite and tentative plans.
