Robert M. Mazer and Sgt. Abe Laufe; Item written by personnel going to school for Special Services in Lexington, Virginia 1943-1946","Keeping morale high was important during the war. This was recognized at the highest military levels. General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, for example, stressed the importance of maintaining high morale: \"Napoleon evaluated morale over material as three to one. I believe that recent experiences indicate a re-estimate of this value - the odds being near five to one, or probably even ten to one in some instances in favor of the psychological factor\" (Morale Program, box 7 folder 2 page 7). Programs and services that maintained or heightened morale covered a wide range - athletics, libraries, religion, education - and none was more important than entertainment, which is well-represented by the materials in the Becher Collection.","Entertaining troops during World War II was an enormous enterprise. The celebrated USO-Camp Shows was a civilian-based organization that provided professional entertainment for the Armed Forces. The U.S. Army Motion Picture Service was a non-profit organization that sponsored movie theaters to ease the transition from civilian to military life. A related group, the U.S.O. Mobile Motion Picture Service, showed films to overseas troops. Whereas these organizations provided passive forms of entertainment, the Entertainment Section of the Army Special Services Division took a different approach. They actually included the soldiers in creating their own entertainment. These were called Soldier Shows.","Soldier Shows were made by soldiers for soldiers. The principal objective was to achieve mass participation. A wide range of talent was employed in creating Soldier Shows - including singers, dancers, actors, orators, trivia buffs, costume and scenery makers, artists, and carpenters. Because mass participation by military personnel was encouraged, the program had a virtually unlimited field to draw on.","Soldiers participating in Soldier Shows acted in skits and plays, sang musical numbers, performed comedy routines, quizzed other soldiers, and made arts and crafts. Such activities forged common bonds among the troops and provided emotional links to their homeland. Soldier Shows were particularly effective in boosting the morale of hospitalized soldiers. The therapeutic value of Soldier Shows played an important role in the physical and mental rehabilitation of injured soldiers.","Soldier Shows were remarkably effective in boosting morale. In fact, reports have shown that the program was one of the easiest and most effective ways to combat low morale. (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7). General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a back-stage visit to the cast who put on a Soldier Show in North Africa, praised their usefulness in the war effort: \"You are entertaining soldiers. You are not fighting with guns - but your job is just as important. As long as you are doing your job well . . . you will be rendering a service, and a great one, to your fellow soldiers and your country\" (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff. EAD markup completed in February 2009 by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the , which contains documents, photographs, and memorabilia from his time in the Air Force during World War II.","The John C. Becher Soldier Show collection contains entertainment materials written by and for the United States military during and immediately following World War II. The collection is arranged by material type and entertainment themes. The six cubic feet (nine linear feet) cover the years 1940 through 1953.","Most of the items in the collection are Soldier Shows, entertainments written to amuse overseas troops and to boost morale. Produced by the Army Special Services Division, the scripts were written by professional and amateur playwrights. Many were created by military personnel attending the Special Services School in Lexington, Virginia (1943-1946). The collection also includes: newspaper and magazine clippings, war humor, poems, blackouts, quizzes, crafts manuals, original songs, song parodies, sheet music, flyers, pamphlets, theatrical manuals and guides, lesson plans and lectures, production ideas, and comedy routines. There are also several military-issued Pocket Guides to foreign lands, including guides to Burma, Germany, Greece, West Africa, Italy, and Great Britain.","Script by unknown","Script by Leo Lieberman","Script by William Hanley","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Paddy Chayefsky","Script by Louis Kronenberger","Script by Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron","Script by Lonnie Coleman","Script by Robertson Davies","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by William McCleery","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Santha Rama Rau","Script by Arnold Wesker","Script by Elick Moll","Script by Patricia Joudry","Script by Dore Schary","Script by Michael Howard","Script by Joseph Fields and Peter de Vries","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Henry Denker","Script by Murray Schisgal","Script by Harry Tugend","\"The Reluctant Draftee\" and \"Ten Minute Break\": Two Complete Soldier Shows","Comedy Acts and Minstrel Show Material","Revue Sketches Vaudeville Comedy Acts","\"Take it or Leave It\": A Humorous Quiz Book","Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Fred Allen, Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly: Comedy Scenes","Soldier Shows Guide","The Army Play by Play: Five Prize-Winning One-Act Plays","Blackouts and Sketches","GI: Prize Winning Blackouts","G.I.

Robert M. Mazer and Sgt. Abe Laufe; Item written by personnel going to school for Special Services in Lexington, Virginia 1943-1946","Keeping morale high was important during the war. This was recognized at the highest military levels. General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, for example, stressed the importance of maintaining high morale: \"Napoleon evaluated morale over material as three to one. I believe that recent experiences indicate a re-estimate of this value - the odds being near five to one, or probably even ten to one in some instances in favor of the psychological factor\" (Morale Program, box 7 folder 2 page 7). Programs and services that maintained or heightened morale covered a wide range - athletics, libraries, religion, education - and none was more important than entertainment, which is well-represented by the materials in the Becher Collection.","Entertaining troops during World War II was an enormous enterprise. The celebrated USO-Camp Shows was a civilian-based organization that provided professional entertainment for the Armed Forces. The U.S. Army Motion Picture Service was a non-profit organization that sponsored movie theaters to ease the transition from civilian to military life. A related group, the U.S.O. Mobile Motion Picture Service, showed films to overseas troops. Whereas these organizations provided passive forms of entertainment, the Entertainment Section of the Army Special Services Division took a different approach. They actually included the soldiers in creating their own entertainment. These were called Soldier Shows.","Soldier Shows were made by soldiers for soldiers. The principal objective was to achieve mass participation. A wide range of talent was employed in creating Soldier Shows - including singers, dancers, actors, orators, trivia buffs, costume and scenery makers, artists, and carpenters. Because mass participation by military personnel was encouraged, the program had a virtually unlimited field to draw on.","Soldiers participating in Soldier Shows acted in skits and plays, sang musical numbers, performed comedy routines, quizzed other soldiers, and made arts and crafts. Such activities forged common bonds among the troops and provided emotional links to their homeland. Soldier Shows were particularly effective in boosting the morale of hospitalized soldiers. The therapeutic value of Soldier Shows played an important role in the physical and mental rehabilitation of injured soldiers.","Soldier Shows were remarkably effective in boosting morale. In fact, reports have shown that the program was one of the easiest and most effective ways to combat low morale. (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7). General Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a back-stage visit to the cast who put on a Soldier Show in North Africa, praised their usefulness in the war effort: \"You are entertaining soldiers. You are not fighting with guns - but your job is just as important. As long as you are doing your job well . . . you will be rendering a service, and a great one, to your fellow soldiers and your country\" (Morale Program, box 1 folder 2 page 7).","Processed by Special Collections Research Center staff. EAD markup completed in February 2009 by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty.","The Special Collections Research Center also holds the , which contains documents, photographs, and memorabilia from his time in the Air Force during World War II.","The John C. Becher Soldier Show collection contains entertainment materials written by and for the United States military during and immediately following World War II. The collection is arranged by material type and entertainment themes. The six cubic feet (nine linear feet) cover the years 1940 through 1953.","Most of the items in the collection are Soldier Shows, entertainments written to amuse overseas troops and to boost morale. Produced by the Army Special Services Division, the scripts were written by professional and amateur playwrights. Many were created by military personnel attending the Special Services School in Lexington, Virginia (1943-1946). The collection also includes: newspaper and magazine clippings, war humor, poems, blackouts, quizzes, crafts manuals, original songs, song parodies, sheet music, flyers, pamphlets, theatrical manuals and guides, lesson plans and lectures, production ideas, and comedy routines. There are also several military-issued Pocket Guides to foreign lands, including guides to Burma, Germany, Greece, West Africa, Italy, and Great Britain.","Script by unknown","Script by Leo Lieberman","Script by William Hanley","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Gurney Campbell and Daphne Athas","Script by Paddy Chayefsky","Script by Louis Kronenberger","Script by Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron","Script by Lonnie Coleman","Script by Robertson Davies","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by William McCleery","Script by Leonard Spigelgass","Script by Santha Rama Rau","Script by Arnold Wesker","Script by Elick Moll","Script by Patricia Joudry","Script by Dore Schary","Script by Michael Howard","Script by Joseph Fields and Peter de Vries","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Richard Morris","Script by Henry Denker","Script by Murray Schisgal","Script by Harry Tugend","\"The Reluctant Draftee\" and \"Ten Minute Break\": Two Complete Soldier Shows","Comedy Acts and Minstrel Show Material","Revue Sketches Vaudeville Comedy Acts","\"Take it or Leave It\": A Humorous Quiz Book","Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Fred Allen, Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly: Comedy Scenes","Soldier Shows Guide","The Army Play by Play: Five Prize-Winning One-Act Plays","Blackouts and Sketches","GI: Prize Winning Blackouts","G.I.

Following a one-year internship with the Veteran's Administration Hospital, Kolze began working as an Army Dietitian and was stationed at the 382nd General Hospital in Osaka, Japan from 1951-1952. Kolze was later stationed in Europe, New Jersey and at Fort Ord in California. She retired from the US Army with a rank of Major in 1969.","At the start of the Korean War in 1950 there were approximately 22,000 women in the military, with approximately 7,000 of them serving as medical professionals. Many army nurses served in Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (also known as M.A.S.H.) units or staffed army hospitals in Japan, which during the Korean War cared for injured or ill service members who had been transported out of Korea. Over time these hospitals also began caring for an increasing number of service member dependents, expanding their services to include obstetrics and pediatric units.","World War I saw the first active recruitment of dietitians as a specific occupation for military service, with the first overseas service being deployed in May 1917. On October 2, 1922 the first Army training program for dietitians was established in the Medical Department Professional Services School at Walter Reed General Hospital. During World War II Army trained dietitians served in every theatre throughout the war, but it wasn't until June 1944 with the passage of Public Law 78-530 that Army dietitians were granted commissioned status, allowing them the same allowances, rights, benefits, and privileges, and it wasn't until 1947 that permanent military status was granted with the establishment of the Women's Medical Specialist Corps. During the Korean War, Army dietitians continued to serve in M.A.S.H units and were also expanded to supervise the operation of food service systems for the expanded army hospitals in Japan.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in November 2024.

Following a one-year internship with the Veteran's Administration Hospital, Kolze began working as an Army Dietitian and was stationed at the 382nd General Hospital in Osaka, Japan from 1951-1952. Kolze was later stationed in Europe, New Jersey and at Fort Ord in California. She retired from the US Army with a rank of Major in 1969.","At the start of the Korean War in 1950 there were approximately 22,000 women in the military, with approximately 7,000 of them serving as medical professionals. Many army nurses served in Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (also known as M.A.S.H.) units or staffed army hospitals in Japan, which during the Korean War cared for injured or ill service members who had been transported out of Korea. Over time these hospitals also began caring for an increasing number of service member dependents, expanding their services to include obstetrics and pediatric units.","World War I saw the first active recruitment of dietitians as a specific occupation for military service, with the first overseas service being deployed in May 1917. On October 2, 1922 the first Army training program for dietitians was established in the Medical Department Professional Services School at Walter Reed General Hospital. During World War II Army trained dietitians served in every theatre throughout the war, but it wasn't until June 1944 with the passage of Public Law 78-530 that Army dietitians were granted commissioned status, allowing them the same allowances, rights, benefits, and privileges, and it wasn't until 1947 that permanent military status was granted with the establishment of the Women's Medical Specialist Corps.

Giunta was born on July 14, 1917 in West Chester, Pennsylvania and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1939. Giunta joined the U.S. Army in 1942, eventually serving as a pharmacist in a European field hospital, likely the 51st Station Hospital in Naples, Italy. Following the end of the war in 1945, Giunta returned to Pennsylvania and married Julia Marie Gialloreto, his wife of 65 years, and in 1954 he opened Giunta's Pharmacy, where he would work until his retirement in 1985. He passed away on January 12, 2022 at the age of 93 and is buried in Saint Cecelia's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.","During World War II, a series of military hospitals were established to provide a higher level of medical treatment, as near to the front lines as possible, than could be offered by standard first aid or emergency care. These hospitals fell into two major types: mobile or fixed. Mobile hospitals were designed for easy movement, often established in the combat zone, and included Convalescent, Evacuation, and Surgical Hospitals. Fixed hospitals were designed for definitive treatment of patients, established in the Communication or Interior Zones, and included General, Field, and Station Hospitals, among others. Station Hospitals provided general medical and surgical treatments for local personnel and were identified by numbers, rather than names, when located in the Communications Zone and were typically staged in tents or other improvised structures, with bed capacities ranging from as low as 25 to as high as 900.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in July 2025.

Griest was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 20, 1884 to Joseph Pownall and Mabel Haines Griest, the second of four children. Griest joined the Bell Telephone Company in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1906 as a building inspector and would eventually be named general commercial manager in 1933. During World War I he served with the 406th Telegraph Battalion, starting as a Lieutenant and ultimately attaining the rank of Major. After spending approximately two months, from June - August 1917, in training at the Army Signal Corps camp in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, Griest headed overseas and spent the majority of the war in France. A devout Quaker, he was one of a small number of the typically anti-war members of the Society of Friends to serve in the American Expeditionary Forces. He returned home in early April 1919 and spent the rest of his life living and working in and around Philadelphia with his wife Mary and their two children. He passed away on January 9, 1947 at the age of 62 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.","The United States formally entered the conflict now known as World War I nearly three years after fighting began in Europe, declaring war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Only a few short months later, in August 1917, the 406th Telegraph Battalion, Signal Corps became one of the first two telegraph battalions sent to France to join the fighting, later proudly referring to itself as \"The First Battalion\". Composed entirely of employees of the Bell Telephone Company in Eastern Pennsylvania, the 406th was part of the United States Army Signal Corps, the branch responsible for maintaining all military communications, or signals. Despite the men's lack of prior military experience, the Battalion was able to mobilize quickly, after only four months of military training, due to their existing communications experience and knowledge as Bell Telephone employees. The Battalion served primarily in France for the duration of the war, taking part in several major American offensives, such as the Second Battle of the Marne. A written history of the unit was published in 1921 titled The First Battalion. The Story of the 406th Telegraph Battalion Signal Corps, U. S. Army, with Major Thomas H. Griest gathering and organizing much of the material used in its writing.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner from March - December 2024.

Griest was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 20, 1884 to Joseph Pownall and Mabel Haines Griest, the second of four children. Griest joined the Bell Telephone Company in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1906 as a building inspector and would eventually be named general commercial manager in 1933. During World War I he served with the 406th Telegraph Battalion, starting as a Lieutenant and ultimately attaining the rank of Major. After spending approximately two months, from June - August 1917, in training at the Army Signal Corps camp in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, Griest headed overseas and spent the majority of the war in France. A devout Quaker, he was one of a small number of the typically anti-war members of the Society of Friends to serve in the American Expeditionary Forces. He returned home in early April 1919 and spent the rest of his life living and working in and around Philadelphia with his wife Mary and their two children. He passed away on January 9, 1947 at the age of 62 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.","The United States formally entered the conflict now known as World War I nearly three years after fighting began in Europe, declaring war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Only a few short months later, in August 1917, the 406th Telegraph Battalion, Signal Corps became one of the first two telegraph battalions sent to France to join the fighting, later proudly referring to itself as \"The First Battalion\". Composed entirely of employees of the Bell Telephone Company in Eastern Pennsylvania, the 406th was part of the United States Army Signal Corps, the branch responsible for maintaining all military communications, or signals. Despite the men's lack of prior military experience, the Battalion was able to mobilize quickly, after only four months of military training, due to their existing communications experience and knowledge as Bell Telephone employees. The Battalion served primarily in France for the duration of the war, taking part in several major American offensives, such as the Second Battle of the Marne. A written history of the unit was published in 1921 titled The First Battalion. The Story of the 406th Telegraph Battalion Signal Corps, U. S. Army, with Major Thomas H. Griest gathering and organizing much of the material used in its writing.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner from March - December 2024.

He passed away on January 9, 1947 at the age of 62 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.","The United States formally entered the conflict now known as World War I nearly three years after fighting began in Europe, declaring war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Only a few short months later, in August 1917, the 406th Telegraph Battalion, Signal Corps became one of the first two telegraph battalions sent to France to join the fighting, later proudly referring to itself as \"The First Battalion\". Composed entirely of employees of the Bell Telephone Company in Eastern Pennsylvania, the 406th was part of the United States Army Signal Corps, the branch responsible for maintaining all military communications, or signals. Despite the men's lack of prior military experience, the Battalion was able to mobilize quickly, after only four months of military training, due to their existing communications experience and knowledge as Bell Telephone employees. The Battalion served primarily in France for the duration of the war, taking part in several major American offensives, such as the Second Battle of the Marne. A written history of the unit was published in 1921 titled The First Battalion. The Story of the 406th Telegraph Battalion Signal Corps, U. S. Army, with Major Thomas H. Griest gathering and organizing much of the material used in its writing."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThomas Griest World War I collection, C0515, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["Thomas Griest World War I collection, C0515, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProcessing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner from March - December 2024.
