The writter has written on the front "YO -- K.X.O.K., I seriously hope you will like this Theater song. The first of its type from any war. Written here in the Burma Jungle on the Ledo Road. For your interest and kind efforts may I think you so very much. Best wishers to all - always Pvt. Tatum
He then wrote his address as Pvt. (in front of his printed name on the sheet music) 46th Malasia Contral Unit, APO 689-c/o P.M., New Your City N.Y.
Then on the bottom he has written 2/6/45 -- Am jacked, ready to start for home on a moments notice. Will it be swell to get home???
ON the second piece of sheet music called Ledo Road, it shows his photo along with another photo that states music by: George Pukhle Narbir & George W. Tatum. Also written 2/6/45 -- To K.X.O.K. Hope all these will get their kicks to the rhythm of their Burma jungle tun -- written on the Ledo Road. Best Wishes to every body, sincerely Tatum (again his address is written but includes 32353816) at the bottom of the music he has written I'm packed and ready to hit the trail for the states - yes home sweet home - over two years here in these jungles - can't hardly wait.
