Where could I find a copy of a US Army order from WWII?

Hello all-

I am working on a project, but am having trouble locating a copy of any US Army order from WWII. I am just looking for the general style of the order, so content or theater is not really important.

Does anyone know of a website where I could find a picture of an order?

Thanks,

Dear Phil,

i know of no web site, although i am sure there some that may display what you are requesting. the place you need to go to is the : National Archives They have copies of all U.S. military orders that have been declassified in the last 50 years.

yours truly,

The US Army issued orders in a standard OPORD format, the British Army used a similar one (but changed to the US style after the war). There are lots of scans of contemporary documents at:
http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usamhi/DL/AtoZ.htm

If you look at the operations orders for Operation Shingle (Anzio), Page 12 has an operations order in OPORD format, divided up into Situation,Mission, Operations, Admin & Comms sections.

The censor has been a bit liberal with his black pen, so some bits are quite hard to read!

There are a lot of scans of After Action Reports as well, but the format for these is less standardised.

Cheers
