The collection consists of materials documenting various aspects of the unit's history - training, unit actions, causalities,
commendations, diaries and recollections. Some soldiers kept personal items from the Army or items they acquired while in
service, such as immunization records, post cards, a parachute, iron cross and German flag. There are over 500 photographs,
most of which are identified, and copies of campaign maps from the European theatre with unit positions marked and an attached
narrative related what action took place in these locations. Following the war, unit reunions have been held at regular intervals
and materials from these gatherings are present in the collection. It is anticipated that more material will be added to the
collection in the future. Contributors to this collection include George Marshall, James T. Dunn, John W. Talley, and many
others.
