Robert M. Mazer and Sgt. Abe Laufe; Item written by personnel going to school for Special Services in Lexington, Virginia 1943-1946","Keeping morale high was important during the war. This was recognized at the highest military levels. General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, for example, stressed the importance of maintaining high morale: \"Napoleon evaluated morale over material as three to one. I believe that recent experiences indicate a re-estimate of this value - the odds being near five to one, or probably even ten to one in some instances in favor of the psychological factor\" (Morale Program, box 7 folder 2 page 7). Programs and services that maintained or heightened morale covered a wide range - athletics, libraries, religion, education - and none was more important than entertainment, which is well-represented by the materials in the Becher Collection.","Entertaining troops during World War II was an enormous enterprise. The celebrated USO-Camp Shows was a civilian-based organization that provided professional entertainment for the Armed Forces. The U.S. Army Motion Picture Service was a non-profit organization that sponsored movie theaters to ease the transition from civilian to military life. A related group, the U.S.O. Mobile Motion Picture Service, showed films to overseas troops. Whereas these organizations provided passive forms of entertainment, the Entertainment Section of the Army Special Services Division took a different approach. They actually included the soldiers in creating their own entertainment. These were called Soldier Shows.","Soldier Shows were made by soldiers for soldiers. The principal objective was to achieve mass participation. A wide range of talent was employed in creating Soldier Shows - including singers, dancers, actors, orators, trivia buffs, costume and scenery makers, artists, and carpenters. Because mass participation by military personnel was encouraged, the program had a virtually unlimited field to draw on.","Soldiers participating in Soldier Shows acted in skits and plays, sang musical numbers, performed comedy routines, quizzed other soldiers, and made arts and crafts. Such activities forged common bonds among the troops and provided emotional links to their homeland. Soldier Shows were particularly effective in boosting the morale of hospitalized soldiers. The therapeutic value of Soldier Shows played an important role in the physical and mental rehabilitation of injured soldiers.","Soldier Shows were remarkably effective in boosting morale. In fact, reports have shown that the program was one of the easiest and most effective ways to combat low morale. (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7). General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a back-stage visit to the cast who put on a Soldier Show in North Africa, praised their usefulness in the war effort: \"You are entertaining soldiers. You are not fighting with guns - but your job is just as important. As long as you are doing your job well . . . you will be rendering a service, and a great one, to your fellow soldiers and your country\" (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff. EAD markup completed in February 2009 by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the , which contains documents, photographs, and memorabilia from his time in the Air Force during World War II.","The John C. Becher Soldier Show collection contains entertainment materials written by and for the United States military during and immediately following World War II. The collection is arranged by material type and entertainment themes. The six cubic feet (nine linear feet) cover the years 1940 through 1953.","Most of the items in the collection are Soldier Shows, entertainments written to amuse overseas troops and to boost morale. Produced by the Army Special Services Division, the scripts were written by professional and amateur playwrights. Many were created by military personnel attending the Special Services School in Lexington, Virginia (1943-1946). The collection also includes: newspaper and magazine clippings, war humor, poems, blackouts, quizzes, crafts manuals, original songs, song parodies, sheet music, flyers, pamphlets, theatrical manuals and guides, lesson plans and lectures, production ideas, and comedy routines. There are also several military-issued Pocket Guides to foreign lands, including guides to Burma, Germany, Greece, West Africa, Italy, and Great Britain.","Script by unknown","Script by Leo Lieberman","Script by William Hanley","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Paddy Chayefsky","Script by Louis Kronenberger","Script by Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron","Script by Lonnie Coleman","Script by Robertson Davies","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by William McCleery","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Santha Rama Rau","Script by Arnold Wesker","Script by Elick Moll","Script by Patricia Joudry","Script by Dore Schary","Script by Michael Howard","Script by Joseph Fields and Peter de Vries","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Henry Denker","Script by Murray Schisgal","Script by Harry Tugend","\"The Reluctant Draftee\" and \"Ten Minute Break\": Two Complete Soldier Shows","Comedy Acts and Minstrel Show Material","Revue Sketches Vaudeville Comedy Acts","\"Take it or Leave It\": A Humorous Quiz Book","Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Fred Allen, Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly: Comedy Scenes","Soldier Shows Guide","The Army Play by Play: Five Prize-Winning One-Act Plays","Blackouts and Sketches","GI: Prize Winning Blackouts","G.I.

Robert M. Mazer and Sgt. Abe Laufe; Item written by personnel going to school for Special Services in Lexington, Virginia 1943-1946","Keeping morale high was important during the war. This was recognized at the highest military levels. General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, for example, stressed the importance of maintaining high morale: \"Napoleon evaluated morale over material as three to one. I believe that recent experiences indicate a re-estimate of this value - the odds being near five to one, or probably even ten to one in some instances in favor of the psychological factor\" (Morale Program, box 7 folder 2 page 7). Programs and services that maintained or heightened morale covered a wide range - athletics, libraries, religion, education - and none was more important than entertainment, which is well-represented by the materials in the Becher Collection.","Entertaining troops during World War II was an enormous enterprise. The celebrated USO-Camp Shows was a civilian-based organization that provided professional entertainment for the Armed Forces. The U.S. Army Motion Picture Service was a non-profit organization that sponsored movie theaters to ease the transition from civilian to military life. A related group, the U.S.O. Mobile Motion Picture Service, showed films to overseas troops. Whereas these organizations provided passive forms of entertainment, the Entertainment Section of the Army Special Services Division took a different approach. They actually included the soldiers in creating their own entertainment. These were called Soldier Shows.","Soldier Shows were made by soldiers for soldiers. The principal objective was to achieve mass participation. A wide range of talent was employed in creating Soldier Shows - including singers, dancers, actors, orators, trivia buffs, costume and scenery makers, artists, and carpenters. Because mass participation by military personnel was encouraged, the program had a virtually unlimited field to draw on.","Soldiers participating in Soldier Shows acted in skits and plays, sang musical numbers, performed comedy routines, quizzed other soldiers, and made arts and crafts. Such activities forged common bonds among the troops and provided emotional links to their homeland. Soldier Shows were particularly effective in boosting the morale of hospitalized soldiers. The therapeutic value of Soldier Shows played an important role in the physical and mental rehabilitation of injured soldiers.","Soldier Shows were remarkably effective in boosting morale. In fact, reports have shown that the program was one of the easiest and most effective ways to combat low morale. (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7). General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a back-stage visit to the cast who put on a Soldier Show in North Africa, praised their usefulness in the war effort: \"You are entertaining soldiers. You are not fighting with guns - but your job is just as important. As long as you are doing your job well . . . you will be rendering a service, and a great one, to your fellow soldiers and your country\" (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff. EAD markup completed in February 2009 by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the , which contains documents, photographs, and memorabilia from his time in the Air Force during World War II.","The John C. Becher Soldier Show collection contains entertainment materials written by and for the United States military during and immediately following World War II. The collection is arranged by material type and entertainment themes. The six cubic feet (nine linear feet) cover the years 1940 through 1953.","Most of the items in the collection are Soldier Shows, entertainments written to amuse overseas troops and to boost morale. Produced by the Army Special Services Division, the scripts were written by professional and amateur playwrights. Many were created by military personnel attending the Special Services School in Lexington, Virginia (1943-1946). The collection also includes: newspaper and magazine clippings, war humor, poems, blackouts, quizzes, crafts manuals, original songs, song parodies, sheet music, flyers, pamphlets, theatrical manuals and guides, lesson plans and lectures, production ideas, and comedy routines. There are also several military-issued Pocket Guides to foreign lands, including guides to Burma, Germany, Greece, West Africa, Italy, and Great Britain.","Script by unknown","Script by Leo Lieberman","Script by William Hanley","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Paddy Chayefsky","Script by Louis Kronenberger","Script by Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron","Script by Lonnie Coleman","Script by Robertson Davies","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by William McCleery","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Santha Rama Rau","Script by Arnold Wesker","Script by Elick Moll","Script by Patricia Joudry","Script by Dore Schary","Script by Michael Howard","Script by Joseph Fields and Peter de Vries","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Henry Denker","Script by Murray Schisgal","Script by Harry Tugend","\"The Reluctant Draftee\" and \"Ten Minute Break\": Two Complete Soldier Shows","Comedy Acts and Minstrel Show Material","Revue Sketches Vaudeville Comedy Acts","\"Take it or Leave It\": A Humorous Quiz Book","Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Fred Allen, Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly: Comedy Scenes","Soldier Shows Guide","The Army Play by Play: Five Prize-Winning One-Act Plays","Blackouts and Sketches","GI: Prize Winning Blackouts","G.I.

He was born in Vaucluse, VA and lived in Stephens City prior to enlisting in the Army Air Corps in 1936. In 1939, he reenlisted and served with the Flying Tigers in China. He was taken prisoner following the Battle of the Philippines in 1942 and survived the Bataan Death March and three years in Japanese prison camps. He was freed by American troops during the Great Raid of 1945, and was officially a prisoner of war from April 1942 to August 1945. Following that, he joined the Air Force. In 1946, he married Evelyn (d. 2013). He received multiple decorations during his time in the military, and worked at VMI from 1952 to 1957. Following that, Worked for FMC Corps, South Charleston, WV, maintaining/making tanks for Vietnam, before continuing to work elsewhere in the manufacturing and heavy industry field.  His family suspected that he suffered from PTSD, though it was not as well understood at the time.  John Edward reportedly asked his wife to keep his military memorabilia and diary, but to keep it out of sight from him. The candy box she kept it in is part of the collection.","Box 1 includes military records, scrapbook pages of mostly clippings, photographs, correspondence, and more.  Military records include O'Neal's prisoner of war statement form and discharge papers.  The rest of the material pertains mostly to O'Neal's military service and his time serving overseas. Clippings are mostly from the Winchester Star newspaper.","Box 2 includes 8 military medal sets (with some pieces missing, presumably because they are in the display case in box 3), a ribbon, a lighter, and a box of jewelry. The box of jewelry contains two lapel pins, tie tac, and cufflinks which all depict the M113, a fully tracked armored personnel carrier (tank) that was developed by Food Machinery Corp (FMC), for which O'Neal worked.","Box 3 includes O'Neal's diary, a framed resolution of respect certificate, and a small display case of John Edward O'Neal's military insignia, bars, etc. The diary looks like it is part address book, part list of military men, part list of prisoners of war from America forced to do labor, and also includes sporadic diary entries dated April 1-August 26, 1945.  According to the donor:  the diary was kept by O'Neal while a prisoner of the Japanese; since he was an officer, he was asked to keep a listing of fellow prisoners under his command; and since he was not allowed to keep a diary, these entries were made secretively. There is also a DVD which includes 64 jpg files which are photos of the contents of the diary.","Box 4 includes two folders of oversize clippings, as well as the candy box in which O'Neal's wife kept some of his military materials.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
