Hi,
I am trying to make myself a WWII ARMY OFFICE, and WWII ARMY BEDROOM.

I am trying to recreate a WWII Office. A typical Military office that you would find in WWII times.
If anyone has ever see the movie with Dean Martin "At War with the Army" it has multiple office scenes.
I have so far these items: WWII Lamp, WWII Field Desk (I know this is for OUTSIDE, but since I dont have a WWII Desk, I will have to use this), typewriter, staples, tacks, pens, pencils, War Dept Envelopes, WWII Office chair.
I need some help with what all I need still.
Can anyone help with emails, pictures, anything?
Would a WWII CLERK Field Manual help me in my search??
Can anyone send me links for where I can find some of these items?
I have checked EBAY, but if anyone has any EBAY item #'s or other Websites where I can buy these things, PLEASE SEND THE LINKS MY WAY!
I know I still want a Wooden Desk (I have seen pictures, and have heard the Army used typical Teacher looking desks, I am not sure though)

I am also trying to recreate a WWII Bedroom.
I am trying to figure out what all would be needed or used back during WWII.
Can anyone help me with what you could see in a WWII Army barracks bedroom (Mainly for officers), Bed, cot? Items that I could expect to see.
does anyone know of some items for sale on the net that I could buy to add?

Thank you to anyone and everyone who can help me!!

Thank you!

Maybe you should watch the movie "twelve o'clock high" with Gregory Peck. It is set during WW2 and is about a B24 bomber group in England.There are several scene's set in the bedroom and office of the Sq commander and that of the admin.
It is a very realistic movie.

Please share photos of your acquisitions thus far! I'd love to see the office stuff for sure. I've dreamed of doing something like this...
