Memorabilia - miscellaneous
Scope and Contents note
One of the most interesting parts of the Personal series are the writings by Dick Hedges, of his many trips through Europe at the end of World War II, both personal and as a member of Military Intelligence Service Center. Of particular interest is "The Trip to Nurnberg," which chronicles his experiences while guarding various high ranking Nazi officials and generals to Nurnberg to stand trial as war criminals.
This series also contains correspondence sent to and received by Dick Hedges while he was serving his tour of duty with the U.S. Army. Memorabilia from his army days can also be found in this series.
