This collection contains W. E. (Bill) Warde's updated version of his memoir, "My Military Service," which covers his time on the front lines in the European Theater during World War II (1944-1946). He recounts his experiences in various battles, gives details about the movements of his unit, and tells about what he describes as the "worst night of [his] life" when his fellow soldiers were captured and killed in Germany. The manuscript includes copies of newspaper clippings, maps, photographs, and a timeline of the "Rainbow" Division. There are also several statements of personal experiences from other members of the "Rainbow" Division listed in the appendices of the manuscript.
