‎WWII Women's Army Corps WAC Members Including Two African Americans Stationed in Corsica Photo Archive‎

‎1945. WWII era Women's Army Corps photo archive documenting servicewomen including two African Americansand four partially identified individuals. Creation of the WAC in 1942 marked the first permanent institutional incorporation of women into the U.S. Army placing female personnel into administrative communications intelligence and logistical roles across both domestic bases and overseas commands. One photograph identified on the verso as "Gynnie Polly Corsica '45" provides additional documentation of Black women serving overseas in segregated Army units during the final year of the war.<br /> <br /> Archive of 18 silver gelatin photographs from W.W.II. Photographs measure approximately 3 x 2 inches to 6 x 3.5 inches. The images depict American servicewomen in a range of wartime contexts including official uniform portraits informal snapshots and scenes taken in European cities damaged by combat. Several photographs show women wearing standard WAC dress uniforms with garrison caps and enlisted insignia while others depict personnel wearing British style battledress associated with American administrative units stationed in Europe. One photograph shows three uniformed personnel two women and one man standing at attention before a formal government building likely in Britain. Another image places a uniformed American servicewoman before the gilded equestrian statue of Joan of Arc in Paris a landmark associated with Allied presence in liberated France. Additional photographs depict ruined urban landscapes with bombed churches and collapsed structures suggesting scenes from Germany or France shortly after liberation. A photograph inscribed "Chattanooga Tenn." shows a woman standing in civilian clothing at the entrance of a home indicating a stateside context connected to the servicewoman's life before or after deployment. Another photograph labeled "Ann & Lillie Mother" shows two women standing outside a residence likely relatives of one of the servicewomen. <br /> <br /> Women's military service expanded rapidly during World War II as the War Department created organizations such as the Women's Army Corps and the Navy's WAVES to address labor shortages across the armed forces. Overseas deployments placed WAC personnel in newly liberated European cities and military headquarters throughout the Allied command structure. Light toning minor edge wear and occasional handling marks. Overall very good condition. Although African American women served within segregated units their participation in overseas assignments including Mediterranean theater postings marked a significant shift from earlier military policy which had typically limited Black women's service to domestic assignments within segregated support units. unknown‎

‎WWII US Army Paratrooper U S‎

‎American Paratrooper Training in World War II Photo Album of Airborne Jump Exercise and Troop Carrier Operations in North Carolina‎

‎1943. United States Army airborne training operations documented in photographs created during World War II at Laurinburg Maxton Army Air Base in North Carolina. The images record the preparation and execution of paratrooper training jumps carried out as part of the rapid expansion of American airborne forces during the war. Photographs show soldiers receiving equipment checks boarding transport aircraft deploying from the air and regrouping on the ground after landing illustrating the coordinated logistical and training processes required to prepare airborne infantry units for combat operations. Airborne training facilities such as Laurinburg Maxton served as major preparation sites where paratroopers and troop carrier crews rehearsed the procedures that would later be used in large scale combat operations across multiple theaters of the war.<br /> <br /> Photograph album consisting of 45 black and white photographs mounted on eight unbound album pages. The images depict paratroopers wearing standard issue M1 steel helmets jump boots and M42 paratrooper jump uniforms equipped with web gear. Several photographs show soldiers conducting pre flight checks and assembling near transport aircraft before boarding. Aircraft visible in the photographs include a Douglas C-47 Skytrain bearing markings associated with the 317th Troop Carrier a transport unit that trained at Laurinburg Maxton before deployment overseas during the war. Multiple photographs capture the moment of airborne deployment with paratroopers descending beneath round canopy parachutes consistent with the T-5 parachute used by U.S. airborne forces during most of the war. Ground level images document soldiers gathering after landing and coordinating recovery operations providing visual evidence of the training routines that prepared airborne units for operational deployment.<br /> <br /> During World War II the United States military rapidly expanded its airborne capabilities developing specialized training programs that combined parachute infantry units with troop carrier aviation groups responsible for delivering soldiers and equipment by air. Troop carrier units such as the 317th Troop Carrier Group later played an important role in Allied airlift and airborne operations in the Pacific theater transporting troops and supplies and participating in airborne missions during campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines. Photographs documenting airborne training exercises therefore provide important evidence of the preparatory phase that preceded combat deployment of these units. Album pages remain unbound with photographs mounted to paper leaves. Minor edge wear and light handling marks visible on several prints; overall very good condition. The album preserves detailed visual documentation of American airborne training procedures during the Second World War. unknown‎

‎U.S. Army Directive Establishing the Army Nurse Corps 1901‎

‎1901. MilitaryNursingWomen in Medicine Military directive establishing the Army Nurse Corps 1901. General Orders No. 113. Headquarters of the Army Adjutant General's Office. Washington August 22 1901. Washington: War Department 1901. First edition. 10 pages. Bound with cloth tape lacking wrappers as issued. A foundational federal directive outlining the regulatory framework for the newly established Army Nurse Corps as authorized by Section 19 of the Act of February 2 1901-legislation intended to increase the efficiency of the U.S. military's permanent establishment. This pamphlet marks a critical milestone in the formal integration of women into the military medical apparatus and reflects early 20th-century gendered labor structures within federal institutions. It defines duties pay appointment qualifications leave policies and uniform standards for female nurses employed by the U.S. Army. Of particular historical note is its stipulation that the superintendent must be a graduate of a hospital training school emphasizing the formal credentialing of women in a field long dominated by informal care roles. The directive further outlines pay rates for chief and reserve nurses entitlements to quarters and medical care and the procedural logistics of leave and illness rendering it an early articulation of professional military nursing policy.<br /> <br /> The text includes sixteen numbered provisions covering areas such as applications for appointment travel reimbursements illness treatment and efficiency reporting. Paragraph 15 specifies the required uniform including "a waist and skirt of suitable white material adjustable white cuffs shoulder collar white apron and cap according to patterns prescribed by the Surgeon General's Office." Such mandates reinforce both the militarization and gendered expectations placed upon early 20th-century women in uniform. A marginal annotation in red ink on the cover notes that this issue was "amended by G.O. 54 W.D. 1908" signaling its eventual revision which adds bibliographic and institutional value for those studying the evolution of military nursing. Light toning. Red pen annotation on page one noting the order's amendment in 1908. Overall very good to near fine condition. A comprehensive government document that institutionalized women's medical labor within the Army. unknown‎

‎Henry L Hively; US Army Air Force U S‎

‎WWII U.S. Army Air Force Lt. Henry L. Hively Archive of Letters Medals & Photographs‎

‎1945. WWII Lt. Colonel Henry L. Hively U.S. Army Air Forces correspondence and war archive 1945 comprising medals letters documents photographs negatives and ephemera including Panama Canal Zone tourist booklet wartime train-journey photo strips through France namely Grenoble and Valence aerial transport photographs and extensive emotional correspondence from Oakland and San Francisco at the end of World War II. Archive includes 4 letters 5 envelopes two foreign currency bills a Panama tour guide a donation certificate six medals and ribbons and over 30 very small photographs. This substantial personal archive documents the long U.S. Army career of Lt. Colonel Henry L. Hively 1915-2010 beginning with his formative early-career service tied to the U.S. Army's border militarization and expeditionary presence in Mexico during the opening decades of the twentieth century when American forces pursued Pancho Villa and asserted federal authority along the U.S.-Mexico border. That experience-rooted in mobile warfare logistics and hemispheric military infrastructure-prefigures the global operational networks that would later define American power during World War II. Hively's career thus bridges early twentieth-century expeditionary service in Mexico with his later World War II service across the European and Pacific theaters and the immediate postwar demobilization period.<br /> The archive is anchored by an extraordinary run of intimate 1945 letters from Hively's girlfriend Mrs. Dorothy "Dottie" Rishel a civilian hospital worker at Green's Eye Hospital in San Francisco and later Oakland. Her correspondence chronicles daily life wartime anxiety women's labor Bay Area domestic arrangements and-most critically-the immediate civilian reaction to the atomic bomb and the end of the war. On August 10 1945 Rishel wrote: "I'm so confused over the state of affairs regarding the war and probable termination of it I don't know what to say. Without reservation Hank what's your personal opinion of this atomic bomb Its destructive power absolutely floors me." Only one day later as news of Japan's surrender became imminent she added "Allow me to say 'Happy V-J Day to you.' The war will absolutely be over tomorrow so the radio says. Golly I'm so thrilled I can't even concentrate on anything." These letters provide rare real-time reactions from a young working woman confronting the moral and emotional consequences of nuclear warfare.<br /> <br /> Materially the archive includes Hively's medals-among them a boxed Army of Occupation Medal ribbon bars and a boxed U.S. Air Medal-alongside his wartime photographic portrait labeled "Henry L. Hively 2nd Lt. Sig C." The photographic material consists of mostly very small vernacular silver-gelatin prints about 1' x 1" in rows of about 5 with a few larger images and a few negatives. several stamped on the verso "March 1945" showing Hively with other U.S. soldiers during the final months of the war including soldiers disembarking from U.S. Army aircraft traveling by rail through Europe gathering around Army jeeps and socializing outdoors. One image records a street-level view of a building in Grenoble France situating the archive geographically within southeastern France during the Allied occupation period. Additional prints show European landscapes rivers military encampments and aircraft on runways. Also present is the USO pamphlet Panama in Your Pocket: What to Do Where to Go While on the Isthmus reflecting the Pacific transit network anchored by the Canal Zone alongside foreign currency from France and England and photographic negatives documenting off-duty military life. A later handwritten note identifying "Ret Lt. Col. Henry L. Hively 1915-2010 - 94 yrs old" aligns with his published obituary confirming his long military career and postwar administrative service. The correspondence between Hively and Rishel forms the emotional core of the archive documenting female wartime labor emotional resilience and the uncertainty of demobilization. Rishel's account-"The work here in the hospital is absolutely fascinating. this hospital has been doing an awful lot of experimental work on cornea transplantation"-captures women's medical labor during WWII while her September 21 1945 letter reflects anxiety surrounding separation and discharge: "they have decided to send all eligible officers to their separation centers sometime in the next two months." Together these materials articulate the psychological and social transition from global war to fragile peace. Letters well preserved and legible with expected toning and folds; envelopes present with postmarks and Army Postal Service stamps. Photographs and negatives crisp some very good and a few over exposed. Medals well kept in original boxes with ribbons and devices. Overall very good condition. unknown‎

‎US Army Missile Testing Redstone Arsenal/ White Sands U S‎

‎Cold War Missile Engineering and Rocket Testing Archive Redstone Arsenal and White Sands Missile Range Archive 1950s-70s‎

‎1950. This exceptionally dense technical archive documents U.S. Army rocket and missile development during the height of the Cold War and Vietnam War originating from the estate of a retired aerospace engineer Thomas T. Howell affiliated with the U.S. Army Missile Command with direct work conducted at Redstone Arsenal Alabama and White Sands Missile Range New Mexico. The materials capture the applied test-driven reality of American rocketry at the moment when battlefield rocket systems solid-fuel propulsion and rapid-deployment tactical missiles became central to U.S. military doctrine. Of particular importance is the archive's sustained focus on field testing propulsion diagnostics firing mechanisms and structural integrity analysis with repeated references to multi-stage motors booster threads nozzle pressure profiles thrust measurement strain-gauge instrumentation and dynamic propulsion testing under operational conditions. The presence of Vietnam-era documentation situates this archive squarely within the escalation of U.S. missile and rocket deployment in Southeast Asia when systems such as the Little John rocket and related short-range artillery rockets were actively refined tested and evaluated for combat reliability. <br /> <br /> Collection includes; 2 original testing mechanisms; a 16mm film roll documenting a test launch; over 40 original photographs showcasing different testing sites and rocket units; over 40 hand drafted graphs on red paper; several hand written pages of calculations with formulas and schematics; several signed printed documents signed regarding the procedures for assembly static test flight weight booster motor components all dated in the summer of 1969; and a heavily annotated blueprint.<br /> Redstone Arsenal established in the early Cold War and shaped by the integration of German rocket scientists after World War II became the intellectual and engineering hub of U.S. Army missile work where propulsion systems launch mechanisms instrumentation and tactical doctrines were conceived refined and standardized. White Sands Missile Range by contrast functioned as the proving ground where theory met reality. This Redstone-White Sands pipeline allowed the United States to move rapidly from concept to deployable weapon. The archive comprises a combination of original testing hardware primary testing documentation photographic evidence and engineering drawings and graphs offering a nearly end-to-end view of the rocket development and validation process. Included is an original Electrical Output Firing Mechanism Tester for rocket launchers which is distinctly labeled for testing electrical firing mechanisms with milliwatt-second measurements a piece of surviving test equipment seldom encountered outside institutional collections; a rubber ring with conductive instrumentation in the interior a ring-type electromagnetic integrator or pickup coil used to measure missile velocity by electrically integrating acceleration over time with the central aperture allowed a magnetic core conductor or shaft associated with missile motion to pass through; extensive hand-plotted K&E bar graphs trajectory charts acceleration and velocity curves displacement diagrams and launch-segment data sheets many executed on period engineering graph paper with handwritten annotations calculating thrust pressure acceleration in g's and burnout timing; a substantial group of typed Army test procedures and data-requirement documents several signed and approved by supervising engineers details assembly procedures static and dynamic propulsion tests booster motor configurations which include tapered buttress threads and pin joints strain-gauge placement chamber pressure measurement and photographic documentation protocols; and a blueprint with extensive handwritten calculations in areas surrounding schematic drawings titled "Revisions -- Body Pressure Transducer" dated 1969. The calculations mention error rates "at 0.4% to 0.6% due to boost acceleration." These documents reveal the rigor of U.S. Army missile testing culture where every firing was instrumented recorded and analyzed as part of an iterative engineering feedback loop.<br /> A binder containing over 40 original photographs many stamped on the verso identifying the various locations and rockets such as "LITTLE JOHN" and "WHITE SANDS" on glossy photo paper shows test stands firing sequences hardware setups and missile components in both black-and-white and color. These images provide rare ground-level views of rocket testing infrastructure and procedures at one of the most historically significant U.S. missile ranges. Also present is 16mm film apparently documenting test-stand or firing activity; the film appears physically intact and represents a rare moving-image record of Army missile testing during the era. Completing the archive are large-format blueprints and technical drawings including a detailed pressure-transducer body schematic bearing U.S. Army Materiel Command identifiers Redstone Arsenal attribution and extensive handwritten calculations direct evidence of hands-on analytical work by an engineer engaged in real-time problem solving under Cold War weapons development pressures.<br /> <br /> Materials show expected handling and working-archive wear consistent with active engineering use: edge wear folds staple and paper-clip rust toning and some stains to paper; handwritten calculations and annotations throughout; photographs generally well preserved with strong contrast; hardware tester shows surface wear and oxidation consistent with age and field use; 16mm film appears physically sound but untested. Overall very good condition. This archive represents a rare primary source for the study of U.S. Army rocketry missile engineering and weapons testing during the Vietnam War and late Cold War period. Its combination of original equipment signed technical procedures analytical charts photographs and film makes it especially valuable for institutional collections focused on military technology Cold War science aerospace engineering history and the material culture of U.S. weapons development. unknown‎

‎World War II-Era U.S. Army Training Camp and Southern Home-Front Photo Album‎

‎WWII-era photographs measuring 11.5" x 7.25" Multiple locations undated Ca. 1940s. With 67 photographs ranging in size from 3.5" x 2.5" to 5" x 4" of a serviceman and multiple generations of his family. Photo Album. U.S. Army Training Camp and Domestic Life in the American South circa 1940s. Oblong photograph album containing approximately estimate based on images shown original black-and-white vernacular photographs most snapshot size corner-mounted to black paper leaves. Circa 1940-1945.<br /> This photo album documents the intertwined military and domestic life of a white American serviceman during the World War II era combining images of U.S. Army training facilities with scenes of rural Southern family life. The military photographs depict a cantonment landscape of low wooden barracks dirt roads telephone poles and regimented formations of soldiers assembled outdoors. One sequence shows uniformed men standing in formation across an open parade ground while others capture military transport vehicles-open troop carriers filled with soldiers-moving through base streets lined with identical wood-frame buildings. Individual portraits show a soldier in full uniform posed formally in front of barracks and beside mid-1940s automobiles suggesting pride in service and upward mobility through military affiliation. A small chapel with a steeple appears prominently underscoring the role of religion in wartime military culture. Another building features an exterior metal slide descending from a second-story opening-likely part of a training or emergency drill structure-emphasizing the regimented preparedness of wartime camps.<br /> Interwoven with these military scenes are intimate images of domestic life: a woman and uniformed soldier standing together on the steps of a clapboard house; a couple tending a vegetable garden beside a brick home; a man seated in a wooden rocking chair reading a newspaper on a brick porch; and several rural outdoor scenes including hunting practice cooking over an open fire and resting beside a parked automobile in a wooded clearing. One photograph shows a small brick utility structure with a cupola and central doorway possibly a pump house or guard building with a suited man posed formally in its doorway-an image that contrasts sharply with the utilitarian wooden barracks of the training camp. A sequence labeled "Camp" partially visible in the images depicts a married couple posing with a wooden sign in a wooded recreational setting indicating leisure travel or stateside furlough during wartime. The album thus captures the dual identity of the mid-century American serviceman: disciplined soldier within the expanding military-industrial system and family member rooted in agrarian and small-town America. Historically the photographs reflect the rapid expansion of U.S. Army training installations in the early 1940s following mobilization after 1940 and especially after the United States' entry into World War II in December 1941. Temporary wooden cantonments-often constructed quickly and economically-became defining features of Southern and Southwestern landscapes. The imagery of standardized housing blocks troop transports and parade formations corresponds with this wartime infrastructure boom. Simultaneously the domestic photographs illustrate gender roles and social norms of the era: women appear primarily in domestic or garden settings while men are shown in uniform hunting or performing outdoor labor. The album therefore offers institutional collectors insight into the lived experience of wartime mobilization rural domestic culture and the social fabric of white middle- and working-class America during the WWII home-front era. As a cohesive vernacular record rather than an official military archive the album provides valuable visual evidence of how national service reshaped everyday landscapes and identities. Condition: Photographs are corner-mounted to black paper leaves; overall clean with minor silvering and light surface wear typical of mid-century snapshots. Album binding shows expected handling wear along edges but remains intact. Very good overall condition. unknown‎

‎Collection of 8 Original WWII and earlier US Military Holiday Dinner Menus: 1929-45‎

‎1929. U.S. Army and Navy holiday dinner menus and related materials 1929 to 1945 document organized communal life ceremonial observance and institutional identity within the American military across the interwar and World War II periods. The group includes menus for Independence Day Thanksgiving Armistice Day and Navy Day situating the material within official holiday programming that reinforced morale and unit cohesion during both peacetime training and global conflict. The presence of menus from the 189th Field Artillery at Fort Sill in 1940 and later examples from the U.S.S. Pine Island including those produced at Sasebo Japan places the archive within the geographic expansion of U.S. military operations from domestic bases to overseas occupation zones. The inclusion of named rosters and autograph signatures connects these printed artifacts to specific service members documenting how collective identity and hierarchy were formalized and commemorated through shared meals.<br /> <br /> Archive of eight original military holiday dinner menus and four printed cloth napkins. United States and Japan 1929 to 1945. Menus measure approximately 7 x 5.5 inches and are printed in paper wrappers with illustrated covers. The earliest menu issued for the 189th Field Artillery at Fort Sill Oklahoma Thanksgiving 1940 includes an ornamental napkin a printed roster of personnel multiple autograph signatures and a "wooden certificate" voucher redeemable within the Cherokee Strip region. Additional menus originate from the U.S.S. Pine Island for Independence Day Navy Day and Armistice Day observances including examples produced at the Sasebo naval base in Japan. Menus list standardized holiday meals including roast turkey baked ham potatoes and pie. The archive also includes four cloth napkins from the 70th Service Squadron dated 1929 to 1931 each approximately 14 x 14 inches printed with thematic imagery such as turkeys cornucopias and holly leaves and bearing full rosters of personnel organized by rank. The 70th Service Squadron was stationed at March Field California a major Army Air Corps training installation during this period.<br /> <br /> Military holiday menus functioned as both practical documents and ceremonial objects recording foodways hierarchy and unit composition while reinforcing institutional traditions across dispersed service environments. The continuity of menu design and meal structure across years and locations reflects standardized provisioning practices while the inclusion of rosters and signatures preserves individual participation within collective settings. The presence of materials spanning prewar Army Air Corps units and wartime naval operations including occupation-era Japan provides a longitudinal view of military culture across a period of rapid organizational and geopolitical change.

‎World War II Archive Sergeant Lee W. Harwell of North Carolina 694th Field Artillery Battalion includes Photographs of Indigenous Peoples in New Guinea 1941-1945‎

‎1944. WWIIPhilippine Occupation Harwell Lee W. World War II military archive 1941-1945 recording the service of a North Carolina enlisted artilleryman from prewar mobilization through the American occupation of the Philippines following Japan's surrender. Harwell born in 1918 in Mooresville North Carolina enlisted in April 1941 and trained at Fort Bragg Camp Blanding Camp Shelby and Fort Sill before deployment overseas in August 1944 with the 694th Field Artillery Battalion. His unit participated in operations in New Guinea and the Philippines during the final year of the Pacific campaign. The archive's most historically concentrated materials consist of five letters written in September 1945 from Luzon where Harwell was assigned to guard Japanese prisoners of war north of Baguio in the immediate aftermath of surrender. These letters describe the logistics and atmosphere of POW stockades the movement of captured Japanese naval personnel civilian hostility toward prisoners in recently liberated areas and the conditions of sick and wounded detainees. Writing to his fiancée Louise Harwell records the daily realities of occupation duty including the presence of hundreds of prisoners under armed guard and the tensions surrounding their confinement. A sixth letter was written aboard the U.S.S. General Mitchell as he returned home closing the wartime sequence.<br /> <br /> Archive is comprised of approximately 150 photographs of varying sizes; six autograph letters totaling seventeen pages; and assorted military documents and ephemera 1941-circa 1946. Photographs depict stateside training camps in North Carolina Florida Mississippi and Oklahoma; artillery training operations; camp life; fellow enlisted men; scenes in New Guinea and the Philippines; images of indigenous civilians in the Pacific theater; and a substantial grouping of family photographs likely dating to Harwell's postwar life. Letters retain original folds and were written in ink to his fiancée. Ephemera include military paperwork a shoulder patch a Fort Sill pamphlet an American Red Cross pamphlet and related service materials. Many photographs were removed from a disbound album some trimmed with occasional captions on the verso or on surviving album fragments affixed to images.<br /> <br /> The letters from September 1945 are contemporaneous accounts of the transition from active combat to custodial and occupation responsibilities in the Pacific. Harwell describes passing large groups of surrendered Japanese personnel under military police supervision guarding stockades housing hundreds of prisoners and transporting detainees through Luzon towns where Filipino civilians attempted reprisals. His observations of disease exhaustion and discipline within the camps provide primary testimony to the conditions under which American forces processed surrendering Japanese units at war's end. Together with visual documentation from training through occupation the archive traces the trajectory of a Southern enlisted soldier from prewar expansion to Pacific victory and demobilization. Letters show minor wear and original creasing; photographs exhibit handling wear consistent with album removal some trimmed; documents with expected age toning; overall very good condition. Substantial Pacific Theater service archive centered on POW guard duty in the Philippines during the closing weeks of World War II. unknown‎
