| Luther, Craig T. | Title: Craig T. Luther Papers and Photographs, Quantity: 0.6 linear ft. (2 archives boxes) of papers, 0.1 linear ft. (6 folders and 1 oversize folder) of photographs, 0.1 linear ft. (3 folders) of paper prints. Call Number: WVM Mss 47 Abstract: Papers and photographs of Craig T. Luther, a member of the 132nd Military History Detachment (M.H.D.), Wisconsin National Guard during the Persian Gulf War and a collector of military memorabilia. Collection contains materials relating to Luther's work as an active-duty military historian during the Gulf War. His reminiscences describe his work collecting artifacts and archival materials of the conflict, giving unique insight into the role of an M.H.D. in the late 20th century. War trophy registration forms show the types of objects he collected in that capacity and also the process by which both units and individual soldiers could collect and keep captured enemy equipment. Also included are Gulf War souvenirs such as greeting cards, postcards, photocopied comic strips, and a paper Arabic flag. A magazine article and conference flyer provide some information about Persian Gulf syndrome. Other scattered materials relate to Luther's membership in various veterans groups, including honorary membership in several World War II veteran associations. These papers provide details about benefits and reunions. Historical materials about the 32nd Division/Brigade provide organizational background as well as information about several public service campaigns and recruitment. A large number of brochures for Army bases and military museums reflect his interest in military history. Also included among the papers are two Memorial Day speeches Luther presented in Wisconsin and a letter from a foreign acquaintance written from service in Bosnia. Two flyers from Fuertes Caminos, a program by which the U.S. Army helped build roads and other infrastructure in Panama in 1992, and some World War II quizzes relating to an industrial safety film are among Luther's collected military memorabilia. An account of a D-Day reenactment in Chicago documents his participation in living history events. Photographs include one shot of Luther in Army uniform during the Gulf War. Other collected photographs feature a member of the Women's Army Corps during World War II, an infantry company from the Mexican Border War, bust shots of several Wisconsin National Guard officers, and a group shot of the 128th Tactical Fighter Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard. |
