Added Papers, 1938-1978

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/711101495

The Marshall B. Hardy, Jr. Added Papers consist of Lieutenant Colonel Hardy's personal copy of his military 201 file, or military personnel file, a folder of documents maintained by the military for each service member. The 201 file is a record of military service and contains documents that are important for proving military service (such as orders, promotions, evaluations, transcripts, awards, etc.). Service members are requested to maintain a complete 201 file in case of the lost of all or a portion of the official version. This is an excellent example of a personal 201 file spanning an almost 40-year military career. Hardy's military personnel file covers his military career from his honorable discharge from the National Guard in Kentucky (dated 24 February 1938, while he was attending the Virginia Military Institute) through his official notice of retirement from the United States Army Reserves (dated 21 July 1978). The file documents Hardy's military activity while on reserve duty, in training, and on active duty through: orders; certificates of training and performance; applications, reassignments, appointments and promotions; and qualification and physical condition records. Some records, notably qualification records (folder 6) also detail Hardy's education and career outside of the military. The majority of Hardy's military career takes place in Kentucky, at Fort Knox and Bowman Field, although he served in northern Africa and Italy during World War II and was briefly stationed at or trained in other locations throughout the United States.
