Abstract:
Papers and photographs of Jack R. DeWitt, an officer in the 14th Armored Division during World War II and with the Army Reserves until 1967. The collection consists largely of the military papers that DeWitt obtained throughout his military career including orders, forms, and reports. These papers do give some insight into service with the Army Reserves. Personal memoirs go into greater detail about his service from enlistment through retirement. DeWitt's interest in veterans organizations and general World War II history are evidenced by reunion materials and other veterans' reminiscences. The photographs include two large and well-captioned scrapbooks that document DeWitt's World War II service, along with some shots from post-war mountain warfare training at Camp Carson.
