Take time to preserve those pages. Those headlines are getting harder to find, and that is how we remember is by items from that era. The "Greatest Generation" is slowly fading away with time, and we should be proud of them and their sacrifice for our freedom.

One of your papers says london on it and another one has the same emblem, so that is where it is probably from
 
Sometime in the late 1960's my father bought bound copies of the London Times
from the early 1860's from the University of California library.

One could actually read British war correspondents' accounts of the battle
of Gettysburg, etc.

The libraries there were converting their newspaper holdings to microfilm
and were selling off the actual papers.

I don't know what happened to the copies my father bought.
