Xxi Corps Rest Center Dijon, France - Kick Back, Relax, And Try Some Mustard! Pfc Cole Cauchi?

This uncommon pictorial map was published in early 1945 as a reference guide for members of the XXI Corps on leave in Dijon, France. The central image presents a large-scale street plan of the downtown area that pinpoints thirty different locations of particular interest to a soldier with a bit of free time. A dozen vignettes comprising the left and right borders add some color and humor to the map. They also reflect the simple things - mail, a clean shower, and decent food - that helped improve the morale of Allied troops en route to Germany. Signed in the lower right by the author, a Private First Class, but I've been unable to conclusively confirm the name.
