CHAPPIE
World War II Diary of a Combat CHAPLAIN
Chappie
combat chaplain


While CHAPPIE World War II Diary of a Combat Chaplain is the journal of one
man, it is also the story of many men, ordinary men who found themselves in
extraordinary situations - sometimes funny, sometimes sad.  
Chappie is not about
just one great event
or battle of the war or one single act of courage. Instead, it
chronicles the battles and countless acts of courage. This combat chaplain's diary
shares the successes,
as well as the failures, of these army GIs on the WWII
battlefields of North Africa and
across Europe.


.  
The book includes eighty-six restored photographs of World War II history.

20th Enginners in Fort Hood Attack
November 2009

Fifteen members of the 20th Engineer Battalion

Afghanistan were casualties of that shooting.

We ask that you remember this unit which suffered
even more casualties in Afghanistan.

  • This WWII journal, Chappie World War II Diary of a Combat Chaplain,
    reads like World War II combat reality-TV in a book.
  • Unique and compelling, this is the military journal of a WWII chaplain
    who served the same combat Engineer unit on the front lines of battle in
    North Africa and Europe for almost three years
  • Throughout those thirty-three months of combat, Chaplain Carpenter
    wrote before, afterwards, and in the midst of battles, recording everyday
    joys, humor, and tragedies.
  • Not a memoir, Chappie World War II Diary of a Combat Chaplain is a
    rare, living document that was written on the battle field at the time the
    events were occurring around him and the 20th/1140th/1117st Combat
    Army Engineers with whom he served.
