Abstract:

Artificial collection of panoramic photographs of military units taken during World War II. Most of the units and places the photographs were taken are identified on the photograph. Of interest is a photograph of Selective Service Training Camp number 2 in Camp Livingston, Louisiana, which includes Gerald Endl, a Medal of Honor recipient (Box 2, Folder 3). Images are largely photographs of units at camps, training, as well as a few photographs of companies and regiments overseas. Several images feature identified people, and these have been denoted with an asterisk in the container list.

This is an artificial collection of panoramic photograph, including images separated out from Wisconsin Veterans Museum archival collections and images from the GAR Memorial Hall. The panoramic photograph collection has been separated into seven collections: Pre-World War I, World War I, Interwar, World War II, Post-World War II, Veterans Organizations and Camps and Locations.

Photographs in this collection have been arranged alphabetically by unit type, then numerically within each unit type. In a few cases, they are alphabetically arranged within unit type. Due to the varying sizes of panoramic photographs, it may be necessary to access several folders or boxes to view all of the images from one unit.

Miscellaneous images include regiments with no identifying information, as well as units with only partial information. A few of these have a partial unit number, or the place they were taken.

The bulk of these photographs were taken during training, featuring troops at various camps in the United States. Most of these camps have been identified on the photographs.

Related collections include: World War I, Interwar, Post-World War II and Camp photographs in the panoramic collection. The 32nd Division, including the 127th and 128th Infantry Regiments, is featured in both World War collections as well as the Interwar collection, providing snapshots of these regiments at different times. Other related collections include Pre-World War I and Veterans Organizations.
