The diary of Thomas A. Kindre is broken into two parts. The first part contains Kindre's descriptive observations of the African theater and Italy, as well as notes on important political and military events. The second part contains his day-to-day notations about the people, places and events Kindre experienced, as well as calendars, lists of movies and sheet music of a song entitled "Dirty Gertie from Bizerte" (by William L. Russel and Paul Reif), all apparently handwritten by Kindre. This diary is a supplement to the Rutgers University Oral History Archives of World War II, sponsored by the Class of 1942.
