INFANTRY 1972 US Army Fort Jackson Company C Yearbook! - (eBay item 290182540889 end time Nov-23-07 17:39:12 PST)

This book's title might be Infantry or else it's United States Army Training Center, Infantry, Fort Jackson, South Carolina, Company C, 1st BN., 1st BDE. I see no date on it, but I suspect it came out in 1972 or shortly after. Here's why: the write-ups on Robert Charles Hixon, Major General, US Army Commanding General and Jack MacFarlane, Brigadier General, US Army Deputy Commanding GE both mention dates up to July, 1972.

It was published by the American Yearbook Company and is chock full of photos, way more photos than text. Contents:
