Inky's inklings:

First proper issue of Europe ’44 (volume numbering follows that of its D-Day Society precursor), covering three IFW Societies (D-Day, Bulge and Anzio) and a total of 71 unique members. Eventually this magazine served quite a number of IFW Societies and ultimately sported the highest production values and probably the highest circulation of any Society zine. Dating this issue is tricky. Vol. 1 No. 4 became available around February 1970, which given the overall frequency of publication at the time (roughly quarterly) suggests that v1n3 appeared late in 1969.
