(12 document cases, 5 in. each; 1 document case, 2 1/2 in.) 1939-1945 The Veterans of World War II papers were compiled by West Virginia University Professors J.C. Easton of the Department of History, C.R. Bishop of the Department of English, and West Liberty State College Professor Regier during the immediate post-war years (1946-1948). Students who had served during World War II were requested to write papers regarding their experiences in the armed services. There are approximately 1,400 reports, and they are filed in alphabetical order by author. The reports document experiences from many theaters of war, including Asia, Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean, Panama, Alaska, Pacific islands, and the high seas. They contain descriptions of camp life, battle, and life as a prisoner or prison guard. Some accounts are illustrated with pictures, photographs, and drawings.
