Memoirs compiled by Hugh P. Warren documenting his World War II service with the U.S. Army’s 3113th Signal Corps. The collection consists of seven computer printouts containing narrative text, black-and-white photographs of people and buildings, and some colored maps. The memoirs span from the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, to March 1946. Topics include wartime experiences in England, France, and Germany, as well as reactions at South Dakota State College following Pearl Harbor.
These memoirs offer a personal account of World War II through the lens of a U.S. Army signal unit member, providing insight into communications operations in the European theater. They also document the wartime atmosphere at a Midwestern college, adding a regional perspective to national and global events. The inclusion of photographs and maps enhances their historical value for researchers studying military history, personal narratives of service, and the home front during WWII.
