Résumé du livre

General description of the collection: The Donald Campbell papers include miscellaneous special orders, transfers, leaves, receipts, and recommendations for promotion pertaining to Donald Campbell while serving in Company A and as battalion operations officer of the 8th U.S. Machine Gun Battalion during fighting in France and occupation of Germany. The one item written during his postwar duty in the 343rd is simply a summary of his wartime service. A few orders, including some battle orders, of the 8th's parent organizations, including the 3rd Division, XXXVIII Corps, and Third Army, are available too. Also, of more general utility are eight battle maps, one of them the fragment of a captured German map.
