Materials on the 105th Cavalry contain documents providing a look at the activities of a Wisconsin National Guard unit stationed in Kenosha between the World Wars. Personnel correspondence reveals that unit members needed to take time off from their civilian jobs to participate in training exercises. Enlistment records reveal details about the men enlisting in the Guard in the years leading up to World War II and focus largely on attendance at annual training.

The 126th Field Artillery documents relate to the unit following World War II. Less comprehensive than the 105th Cavalry materials, this series focuses on several events in the unit's history. Newspaper articles, programs, letters of support, and correspondence detail local resistance to a federal plan to remove the unit from the Wisconsin National Guard troop structure due to low enlistment rates. Other materials relate to the unit's armory, including its dedication, an attempted robbery, and controversy over a wall painting deemed objectionable by many veterans.
