Abstract

Description

Bulk of the collection consists of general files (1918-1961), the medical records and notes of Dr. G. Schilling (1903-1919), records and notes pertaining to the 36th Division (1914-1962), and material concerning the 36th Division Association (1952-1955). Also included in the collection are letters and financial records, materials for Texas National Guard Commander Carl L. Phinney, the Texas Adjutant General's Department, general military materials, and scrapbook materials. Of special interest is a six volume stereographic photo library on World War II.
The Texas National Guard serves as a state and federal agency. During peace time, the Guard is under the commmand of the governor and the adjutant genera. In wartime, the Guard is under federal supervision. The National Militia Act of 1903 (the Dick Law) made all of the different militia units within each state subject to the U.S. Army. During World War I and World War II, the Texas National Guard served as the U.S. Army 36th Division.
