Album - "Europe", 1944 - 1953

The bulk of the collection was originally placed in 3 photo albums containing the pictures and documents collected by Lt. Col. Stewart. The photographs have been removed and can be found in PP 0243.

The remaining items in the album labeled “Pacific” consist of correspondence, newspaper clippings, postcards, and military related documents from Stewart’s time in the Civilian Conservation Core up through his posting at New Caledonia. The second album “Europe” contains primarily newspaper clippings collected during the liberation of Europe in 1944-1945. It also contains postcards, military documents, and other miscellaneous items. The third album “Korea” consists of newspaper and magazine clippings, postcards, military documents and other items from Lt. Col. Stewart’s service in Korea.

There is also one folder containing 43 items, the majority of which are Mr. Stewart's military service records, including discharge notices, ROTC and Armored Force School certificates, and a commendation from President Harry Truman. A second folder contains a 14 page document “My War Experiences,” written by Mrs. Kenneth Stewart (Ruth Jones). It details her experiences during her husband’s service in the army. There is also a Diploma from the Infantry School for completion of the National Guard and Reserve Officers Course.

One item, a certificate of Ch'ungmu medal awarded to Stewart is located in framed storage.
