註釋The Harold E. Thomson Collection consists of correspondence, official papers, personal papers, newspaper clippings, and photographs related to Thomson's United States (U.S.) Army service prior to, during, and after World War II (WWII). The correspondence consists of letters written mostly to Thomson's family, including his mother and father and his sister, Elah. He talks about becoming a Military Police Officer while at Fort Clayton, Panama; preparing for and traveling to Australia before being stationed in the French Territory of New Caledonia; and finally being stationed in Kassel, Germany, with his wife and daughter. Thomson's official papers contain orders, letters of recommendation, and several commendations and letters of appreciation for special services Thomson completed. The personal papers include one song "Forty-One to Nothing" about Indiana University football and one poem "Somewhere in the South Pacific" about soldiering in the Pacific islands. There is also an invitation to an enlisted men's dance; a list of visits, cards, and gifts Thomson sent his mother; and a tourist brochure. The personal papers also contain Thomson's school report cards and several handwritten notes. The newspaper clippings detail Thomson's enlistment, the Allied attack in Europe, and "The President's Prayer" for "Ike" Eisenhower. The photographs are of Thomson in and out of uniform and with his children. He is also pictured in a cemetery next to a Ransford family stone. There is also a folder of photo postcards of Fort Slocum, New York
