June 1919 The German Helmet Papa Brought Home

The first issue, June 24, 1919 featured the middle spread (the home for most of the photos not used on the front page or sports photos marked for the back page would be printed in the center of the newspaper) showing different ways children were now using what we can assume to be some dead soldier's helmet in play, from a dirt pail, to a stroller, to a swing for dolls.


In another spread a week later, more photos of children playing at war, less than a year after what was considered the only Great War of its kind had come to an end.
