| Description | This scrapbook is a month by month collection of newspaper articles from 1944 collected by the Greensboro Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This volume thoroughly recognizes the achievements and tragedies of men and women in the service from the Greensboro-Triad region. Featured are announcements of rank, service, awards, deaths, weddings, births, victories, memorials and posthumous military awards. Greensboro residents will easily recognize many of the street address of these soldiers and their families. Of special note are articles declaring the successes of Major George Preddy (p. 164, an obituary for Preddy, killed on December 25th, 1944 is not in this volume). Eleanor Roosevelt’s visit to the Greensboro Canteen (pg. 150). A soldier’s encounter with actress Olivia De Havilland. Accomplishments of women in the service -- WAVES, WACS, Women’s Reserve, American Red Cross -- are greatly detailed. African American members of the military are among those who were profiled individually. The pages dividing the months of content from one another contain works of art from magazines or by hand in mediums like stencil or watercolor. Another article of interest details a school's scrap campaign using military ranks and promotions, with a young Chinese immigrant holding the highest rank (January 14, 1944; Page 014), the launching of the USS Greensboro (February 13, 1944; Page 036), an article talking about the ""family reunion"" of a mother and son in the service being posted close to one another (March 1944, Page 055), and a war bond advertisement honoring the first woman to die in the war, who was a native of Guilford County (Page 035). |
