| Robert Doyle was a civilian war correspondent for the Milwaukee Journal during World War II, covering the experiences of Wisconsin troops in the 32nd "Red Arrow" Division, an infantry division of the United States Army National Guard. The "Red Arrow" Division consisted mainly of soldiers from Wisconsin and Michigan. A very similar image can be found in M99-114, box PH 1, folder 1/1 B. Some of the text in this record was taken from a printed caption attached to that image. |
