Papers of Franklin L. Gurley, 1943-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/589272580

The Papers of Franklin L. Gurley thoroughly document his military service in the European Theater in World War II through correspondence and journals. He continued to keep a journal for a decade after he returned to the United States, which served both as a writing journal and a log of daily activities and which also contained occasional letters to his parents. His writings focus almost entirely on his military career, consisting of a history of the 100th division 399th infantry, a draft of an unpublished war novel. Eleven articles he wrote for the Boston Globe between 1948 and 1955 are also included. All of the items in the collection are photocopies of typewritten originals; some of the items have manuscript annotations.
