Papers, still images and audio recordings pertaining to the service of Robert W. Lockhart, a Montpelier, Ohio, resident who served in Company I, 86th Infantry Regiment, 10th Infantry Division and with the Army Security Agency (ASA) in the United States, and in the Army Security Agency Europe (ASAE) in Germany, serving from 1951 to 1953. Military service materials include correspondence, military papers, and still images. Letters written home describe life in training camps, training to be a part of the ASA during the Korean War. Transcriptions of these letters done by WVM staff are also included. Scrapbook materials span both Lockhart's service in the military and his veterans activities. These materials include photographs, papers, and souvenirs from Fort Riley, his European service, and reunions. Lockhart described his life in Germany, places he visited, and his observation about the towns and people, as well as his trips to other parts of Europe. Trips included Paris, Switzerland, Italy and London for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Military papers include draft notices and orders. Still images feature a few images from training at Fort Riley, and personal and purchased photographs from Europe. Veterans Materials document Lockhart's efforts to organize and plan reunions the veterans of Company I, 86th Infantry Regiment, 10th Division who graduated from Fort Riley in February 1952. Of interest are the documents of Lockhart, the memorial chairman, and other chairmen searching the United States in a blanket effort to find other Company I veterans. Other materials include correspondence planning these events, paperwork from the reunions, memorial materials and souvenirs. A large amount of correspondence is focused on veterans passing away, memorializing veterans who died before the next of the 16 reunions.
