The Anthropic lawsuit is a pain. My claim is missing two of my dad’s three books that Anthropic stole. I called the service line and I’ve emailed twice and so far, I haven’t had any luck fixing the mistake.

Why don’t generals smile in their official portraits? Take Gordon R. Sullivan—he does not look particularly pleased in this image. Still… you can’t help but wonder what it would look like if he cracked a smile. #MilitaryHistory #USArmy #Leadership #Archives #Portraits #PublicHistory

What does war look like through the eyes of the soldiers who lived it? In the archives at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, the Vietnam Veterans Survey Collection captures those experiences in their own words. History isn’t just what happened. It’s how it was remembered. #Archives

“Books are weapons in the war of ideas.” These American Library Association posters encouraged Americans to send books to soldiers—framing reading as comfort, education, and part of the war effort itself. #USAHEC #ALA #Read

With the 58th General Hospital, Army nurse Ruth St. Clair Murphy moved across Europe, documenting her journey in her scrapbook: friends and colleagues, moments between duties, scenes from her travels and war's trauma. Scrapbooks are biography, storytelling, and curation all at once. #USAHEC

#fromthearchive -Soviet TASS posters from #WWII. Produced quickly in response to events on the Eastern Front, these posters combined bold design with sharp messaging to inform and mobilize the public. They’re a reminder that wartime history is about how events were communicated and understood.

Did you know that the US Army has an outstanding photography collection? Check out a portrait of a young Omar Bradley; a rare photograph of Hilary R. Johnson, & a portrait of Clarence Muse. But this collection is understudied…nothing about the photographer, studio, or context. Are you curious yet?

During the world wars, the YWCA organized recreation programs, housing, and community support for soldiers training in Army camps and serving overseas. Posters like these show how civilian organizations helped mobilize American society for wartime service—today, that story appears in Army archives.

One of the fascinating things about Army archival collections is that they preserve student papers written by officers decades before they became senior commanders in World War II. Check out this paper by MAJ Dwight Eisenhower on planning and industrial mobilization since the World War.

Army archival collections preserve not only the history of wars but also the history of how the Army studied them. Strategic studies and student papers that analyze past conflicts and debate the challenges of future warfare. These materials form an important part of the intellectual history of PME.

I’d like to thank Dr. @katelemay.bsky.social for this episode on some of the unique wartime experiences of Normans caring for the dead and some who risked their lives and safety to care for the living as they sheltered stranded aircrew members until they could get back with the American forces.
