1 box (0.25 linear feet)

"Sentimental Journeys: Delmarva Remembers World War II" is a collection of interviews of fifty(50) World War II veterans from the Delmarva Peninsula. The collection was assembled and produced by Judith M. Ferrand in the spring and summer of 1995 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, in association with WBOC-TV and Wor-Wic Community College. The interviews of the fifty veterans cover all topics surrounding the Second World War including life prior to the war, enlistment and training, various battles, important individuals such as Generals Patton and McArthur, and the Veteran's views of their service. Included with the Interviews is a plastic-bound book that uses the information from the fifty interviews to tell their collective story, from the causes of the war to Veteran's evaluation of their service. Digitized versions of each tape are available upon request.
