Abstract:
Papers and photographs of Leonard C. Davy, an officer with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) during World War II. The bulk of the collection consists of the more than 250 photographs that Davy took during the World War II era. Over 110 of those photos document his overseas service with the predominantly Japanese-American 442nd RCT, including many identified photos of individuals with the unit, candid shots of the group in action, and many scenery shots of French and Italian locales. Other photos depict Davy's work with the Civilian Conservation Corps and his service with the Coastal Artillery in Panama. The papers include many certificates, including a signed certificate of appreciation from President George H.W. Bush, that document Davy's military service in the Army Reserves. Among the ephemera that Davy collected is a membership card for the 442nd Veterans Club and a New Year's card from a fellow member of the unit. Postwar newspaper clippings about the 442nd RCT show Davy's continued interest in his old unit.
