Background

Scope and content:

This collection consists of the accounts of the Battle of the Bulge participation by more than forty VMI alumni. The VMI Class designation ranges from the 1921 to 1946. These accounts were solicited by Robert W. Wentz (VMI Class of 1954) in 1989 to 1990 and formed the basis of an article that was published in the VMI Alumni Review (Summer 1990, Page 14).
