1944 Military Police Detachment Christmas Dinner Menu & Personnel Roster Booklet

Original World War II Military Police Detachment Christmas booklet titled “Season’s Greetings 1944–1945” issued by MP Detachment no. 1. This scarce wartime publication combines a Christmas dinner menu, holiday greeting booklet, and complete personnel roster for the detachment.

Inside is the Christmas Day 1944 dinner menu featuring:

• Grapefruit Juice
• Roast Turkey with Giblet Gravy
• Sage Dressing
• Mashed Potatoes
• String Beans
• Corn
• Cranberry Sauce
• Salad
• Hot Rolls & Butter
• Pumpkin Pie
• Coffee
• Apples, Tangerines, Candy & Nuts

The booklet also contains a detailed roster listing officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted personnel assigned to the Military Police Detachment, making it highly desirable for researchers, genealogists, and WWII collectors.

The cover features a festive wartime Military Police-themed Santa Claus illustration with “MP” armband and “MP Det. #1” designation. Original examples of unit-issued Christmas booklets with complete rosters are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Condition shows expected age, handling wear, light staining, and minor edge wear consistent with an original wartime paper item. The roster pages remain legible and the booklet displays very well.

An excellent WWII military social history artifact that captures a snapshot of Army life during Christmas 1944.
