The interior is generally clean and neat. All the foldable maps are complete and in good condition. The pages are noticeably toned. The rear cover of the book has black spotting and there's a patch of pink / reddish discoloration (looks like it was sitting next to a book with red covers and the water damage transferred the red ink from that one to this). The front pastedown page and front cover have a previous owner's ink stamped name and address. The front pastedown page also includes a previous owner's inked name and there are two ink stamped Chinese "Chop" marks. "The 2nd Engineer Regiment was deployed to the Mexican border prior to US involvement in the First World War. On the US entry to the war the 2nd Engineers deployed to the Western Front in France as the organic Engineering element of the 2nd Division. The regiment arrived in theater under strength. On December 15, 1917, 400 men from Companies D, E and F of the 116th Engineers (Idaho National Guard) assigned to the 41st "Sunset" Division. The remainder of the 116th Engineers formed the cadre of new military training depot in Angers, France. The 1st and 2nd battalions of the 2nd Engineers participated in the Battle of Belleau Wood in direct support of the 4th Marine Brigade of the US Army's 2nd Division. Elements of the 2nd Engineers provided engineering support and fought as infantry throughout the battle." (from Wikipedia). Fair .
