Ellingwood began his military service in 1936 and underwent recruit training in Connecticut and Rhode Island throughout the year. Throughout 1937, Ellingwood served as a Seaman Second Class on the USS  :Cummings  and after 1938, Ellingwood performed disbursing work on the USS  Tucker  as a storekeeper. In 1940, Ellingwood was transferred as a storekeeper to the USS  Shaw  shortly before it was bombed by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. According to Ellingwood: \"I heard someone shout, \"We're being attacked.\" We all ran to our battle stations. Mine was on the bridge.\" On top of the Shaw, he viewed the Japanese attacking Battleship Row, where he stated that \"one of the most sickening things I watched was the USS  Oklahoma  capsize.

The oldest of six children, André grew up and attended schools in Java until 1925, when he moved to The Hague, Netherlands to attend his last year of lyceum. He earned a degree in Indology at Leiden University and entered the graduate program to continue his studies. In the summer of 1930, André attended a concert of the Simmons College Cowboy Band from Abilene, Texas. While socializing with the band afterwards, he paged through a copy of The Bronco, the Simmons College yearbook, and saw a small photo of sophomore Carol Lee Johnson. André wrote to Carol and they began corresponding. After finishing his doctorandus degree (master's degree) in late 1931, he traveled to Texas and asked Carol to marry him. They were married in The Hague in April 1932 and moved to the Netherlands East Indies, where André had been appointed an Aspirant-Controleur, a colonial administrator, in Central Java. André was assigned to Pekalongen and then Salatiga, where he was promoted to Controleur in 1935. In May 1935, Carol gave birth to their first child, André Lawrence, whom they called Larry. André was transferred in February 1936, to Koedoes/Kudus. Ten months later, Larry contracted encephalitis at the age of nineteen months. He died on December 20, 1936 and was buried in the European Cemetery at Kobong in Semarang. In the spring of 1937, Carol left for an extended visit to her family in the US, while André continued his work in Koedoes. He was promoted to Controleur 1st Klasse in May 1938. When his appointment in Central Java ended in the summer, he traveled to the Netherlands to see his parents and reunite with Carol. While on leave in the Netherlands, André was appointed to a position in the Dutch colonial government of Suriname. On their way to South America, he and Carol visited her family in the US for several months. They arrived in Suriname in April 1939 and, in the summer, he was appointed the District Commissioner in the District of Saramacca. In October 1939, he was reassigned as the District Commissioner in the District of Nickerie.\nIn May 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and, until the end of the war, André was cut off from all contact with his parents, Henri and Joanna, and his two youngest siblings, Albertine and Hans. A Dutch government-in-exile was organized in London and continued to govern the colonies of Suriname, Aruba, and Curacao, which were crucial to the Allied war effort. Suriname supplied the US with bauxite, which was used in the production of aluminum, while oil refineries on Cuarcao and Aruba were major suppliers of petroleum. In September 1941, Carol gave birth to their son, Ken, in Paramaribo, Suriname's capital and largest city. André was appointed Paramaribo's District Commissioner and Police Commissioner in November 1941, shortly before US troops began to arrive to guard the colony's bauxite mines. André left Suriname for the United States in late 1943 and, in early 1944, he was ordered to Australia by the East Indies Commission on Australia and New Zealand. At that time, the East Indies Commission functioned as the Netherlands East Indies government-in-exile under the authority of the Dutch government in London. In early 1942, the Japanese had invaded the Netherlands East Indies and gained control over most of the colony. André's two brothers, Matthieu and Arnold, his sister, Henriette, and their families were incarcerated by the Japanese until the end of the war. Matthieu and Arnold were in the military and were sent to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. In mid-1944, Matthieu was moved to the Fukuoka prison camp complex in Japan. Henriette and her husband and children, and Matthieu's wife and child were imprisoned in civilian internment camps. To re-establish Dutch civil authority in the liberated areas of the NEI, the East Indies Commission created the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA) in early 1944. NICA posted André as the Assistant-Resident in Merauke, Dutch New Guinea, which had an airstrip and was under Allied control. In this position, he also served as an infantry Reserve-Major in the Royal Netherlands Indies Army (KNIL) and acted as the NEI liaison officer to the Australian infantry and air squadron units in the Merauke Force. During Operation Oboe 2 in July 1945, André commanded a NICA unit that accompanied the Australian 7th Division in the Allied invasion of Balikpapan, Borneo. In Banjermasin, Borneo on September 17, 1945, André and his unit witnessed the surrender of Major General Uno and 2500 Japanese soldiers to the occupying Australian forces. André served as the NICA commander of Southeast Borneo until he left for Australia at the end of November 1945. When André went to Australia, Carol stayed behind with her parents in Louisiana and gave birth to their daughter, Doreen, in September 1944. She and the children were reunited with André in Australia in late 1945. In early 1946, André was assigned as Assistant-Resident in Makassar, Celebes, NEI. His duties included serving as the liaison to the 80th British Indian Infantry Brigade and monitoring intelligence reports on Indonesian nationalists for the Netherlands East Indies Forces Intelligence Service (NEFIS). During a visit to the US in 1947, André accepted a position teaching economics at Tulane University in New Orleans. He was hired as an associate professor of economics at the Florida State University in Tallahassee in 1949 and, in 1950, he became a naturalized American citizen. In 1951, Dr. Marian Irish, the head of FSU's Political Science Department, hired André as an associate professor. He taught classes in international relations and East Asian and Latin American politics. In 1956, he was appointed the faculty advisor for FSU's new area of study in international affairs. As a political science professor, André emphasized the idea that a nation's politics must be studied and understood within the contexts of its history, culture, and religious influences. This approach, he maintained, would aid the US in crafting a strong foreign policy that would build durable international relationships. Many of André's public lectures on international relations were reported on in varying degrees of detail in The Tallahassee Democrat and The Florida Flambeau, FSU's student newspaper. André was at work on a book about Indonesia at the time of his death in early 1958 at the age of 50. After she married André, Carol Johnson van Assenderp accompanied him on his assignments in the Netherlands East Indies and Suriname. In her role as a colonial official's wife, she hosted dinner parties, socialized with André's colleagues and their spouses, and volunteered in various organizations and activities. Carol had grown up in rural Louisiana, where she learned to drive cars and trucks as a teenager. During WWII in Suriname, she taught women military recruits how to drive double clutch trucks.

The oldest of six children, André grew up and attended schools in Java until 1925, when he moved to The Hague, Netherlands to attend his last year of lyceum. He earned a degree in Indology at Leiden University and entered the graduate program to continue his studies. In the summer of 1930, André attended a concert of the Simmons College Cowboy Band from Abilene, Texas. While socializing with the band afterwards, he paged through a copy of The Bronco, the Simmons College yearbook, and saw a small photo of sophomore Carol Lee Johnson. André wrote to Carol and they began corresponding. After finishing his doctorandus degree (master's degree) in late 1931, he traveled to Texas and asked Carol to marry him. They were married in The Hague in April 1932 and moved to the Netherlands East Indies, where André had been appointed an Aspirant-Controleur, a colonial administrator, in Central Java. André was assigned to Pekalongen and then Salatiga, where he was promoted to Controleur in 1935. In May 1935, Carol gave birth to their first child, André Lawrence, whom they called Larry. André was transferred in February 1936, to Koedoes/Kudus. Ten months later, Larry contracted encephalitis at the age of nineteen months. He died on December 20, 1936 and was buried in the European Cemetery at Kobong in Semarang. In the spring of 1937, Carol left for an extended visit to her family in the US, while André continued his work in Koedoes. He was promoted to Controleur 1st Klasse in May 1938. When his appointment in Central Java ended in the summer, he traveled to the Netherlands to see his parents and reunite with Carol. While on leave in the Netherlands, André was appointed to a position in the Dutch colonial government of Suriname. On their way to South America, he and Carol visited her family in the US for several months. They arrived in Suriname in April 1939 and, in the summer, he was appointed the District Commissioner in the District of Saramacca. In October 1939, he was reassigned as the District Commissioner in the District of Nickerie.\nIn May 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and, until the end of the war, André was cut off from all contact with his parents, Henri and Joanna, and his two youngest siblings, Albertine and Hans. A Dutch government-in-exile was organized in London and continued to govern the colonies of Suriname, Aruba, and Curacao, which were crucial to the Allied war effort. Suriname supplied the US with bauxite, which was used in the production of aluminum, while oil refineries on Cuarcao and Aruba were major suppliers of petroleum. In September 1941, Carol gave birth to their son, Ken, in Paramaribo, Suriname's capital and largest city. André was appointed Paramaribo's District Commissioner and Police Commissioner in November 1941, shortly before US troops began to arrive to guard the colony's bauxite mines. André left Suriname for the United States in late 1943 and, in early 1944, he was ordered to Australia by the East Indies Commission on Australia and New Zealand. At that time, the East Indies Commission functioned as the Netherlands East Indies government-in-exile under the authority of the Dutch government in London. In early 1942, the Japanese had invaded the Netherlands East Indies and gained control over most of the colony. André's two brothers, Matthieu and Arnold, his sister, Henriette, and their families were incarcerated by the Japanese until the end of the war. Matthieu and Arnold were in the military and were sent to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. In mid-1944, Matthieu was moved to the Fukuoka prison camp complex in Japan. Henriette and her husband and children, and Matthieu's wife and child were imprisoned in civilian internment camps. To re-establish Dutch civil authority in the liberated areas of the NEI, the East Indies Commission created the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA) in early 1944. NICA posted André as the Assistant-Resident in Merauke, Dutch New Guinea, which had an airstrip and was under Allied control. In this position, he also served as an infantry Reserve-Major in the Royal Netherlands Indies Army (KNIL) and acted as the NEI liaison officer to the Australian infantry and air squadron units in the Merauke Force. During Operation Oboe 2 in July 1945, André commanded a NICA unit that accompanied the Australian 7th Division in the Allied invasion of Balikpapan, Borneo. In Banjermasin, Borneo on September 17, 1945, André and his unit witnessed the surrender of Major General Uno and 2500 Japanese soldiers to the occupying Australian forces. André served as the NICA commander of Southeast Borneo until he left for Australia at the end of November 1945. When André went to Australia, Carol stayed behind with her parents in Louisiana and gave birth to their daughter, Doreen, in September 1944. She and the children were reunited with André in Australia in late 1945. In early 1946, André was assigned as Assistant-Resident in Makassar, Celebes, NEI. His duties included serving as the liaison to the 80th British Indian Infantry Brigade and monitoring intelligence reports on Indonesian nationalists for the Netherlands East Indies Forces Intelligence Service (NEFIS). During a visit to the US in 1947, André accepted a position teaching economics at Tulane University in New Orleans. He was hired as an associate professor of economics at the Florida State University in Tallahassee in 1949 and, in 1950, he became a naturalized American citizen. In 1951, Dr. Marian Irish, the head of FSU's Political Science Department, hired André as an associate professor. He taught classes in international relations and East Asian and Latin American politics. In 1956, he was appointed the faculty advisor for FSU's new area of study in international affairs. As a political science professor, André emphasized the idea that a nation's politics must be studied and understood within the contexts of its history, culture, and religious influences. This approach, he maintained, would aid the US in crafting a strong foreign policy that would build durable international relationships. Many of André's public lectures on international relations were reported on in varying degrees of detail in The Tallahassee Democrat and The Florida Flambeau, FSU's student newspaper. André was at work on a book about Indonesia at the time of his death in early 1958 at the age of 50. After she married André, Carol Johnson van Assenderp accompanied him on his assignments in the Netherlands East Indies and Suriname. In her role as a colonial official's wife, she hosted dinner parties, socialized with André's colleagues and their spouses, and volunteered in various organizations and activities. Carol had grown up in rural Louisiana, where she learned to drive cars and trucks as a teenager. During WWII in Suriname, she taught women military recruits how to drive double clutch trucks. After she and André moved to Tallahassee, she taught English at Elizabeth Cobb Junior High School. She received her master's degree in social studies education at FSU in early 1958 and later taught social studies and geography at Leon High School. Carol died in Tallahassee in May 1993 at the age of 82.\nBiographical or Historical Information written by Tulie Wheeler Taylor, November 21, 2020, in Tallahassee, Florida"],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eTransferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives in July 2022.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Title of Item], [Date of Item], [Box and Folder number], Andre Lauwrensius van Assenderp and Carol Lee Johnson van Assenderp collection, Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida. https://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/02-14-2022\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Title of Item], [Date of Item], [Box and Folder number], Andre Lauwrensius van Assenderp and Carol Lee Johnson van Assenderp collection, Special Collections \u0026 Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida. https://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/02-14-2022"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRevised 02/09/2016\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["Revised 02/09/2016"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection mostly consists of Dutch language civil and military administrative documents from the career of Andr\u0026#xE9; Lauwrensius van Assenderp, who was a Dutch colonial administrator in the Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia) and Suriname from 1932-1946.

She had been an avid photographer ever since her father took her to the darkroom of an old Army buddy, and she saw strips of film hanging on a line. She graduated from Garber High School in 1934, and then went on to Tonkawa College before receiving her Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1941. Mansfield was a reporter, writer, and editor for the college newspaper, which demonstrated how her fascination for photography followed her throughout her educational years. It was an article in  Popular Photography  Magazine about British military women photographers and their work in aerial photography that inspired her to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (W.A.A.C.) when World War II began.\n          World War II Service - Mansfield enlisted as a W.A.A.C. on October 17, 1942. She attended basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa until February 1943 and then transferred to Lowry Field Photo School in Denver, Colorado. She was one of fifty who made up the first all-women class to be trained as aerial photo technicians. The women did better academically than the men who doubted them, as well as handled the cameras and darkroom work well. After graduating in April 1943, Mansfield went to Felts Field in Spokane, Washington for further training. While there, W.A.A.C. was converted to full status as a branch of the United States Army and became the Women's Army Corps (W.A.C.) in July 1943. Mansfield was also stationed at Peterson Field, Colorado Springs, Colorado and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia before being assigned overseas work in May 1944. Throughout her service, Mansfield kept her Graflex 4x5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic camera and a supply of personal film provided by her father, who was incredibly supportive of her photographic endeavors throughout her life. She used these to document her experience at each location in the states, photographing her friends and surroundings. The pictures Mansfield took feature the women training, completing their work, and socializing.","      Mansfield was assigned to the 8 th  Air Force under James Doolittle stationed in High Wycombe, England. The codename for the camp was \"Pinetree,\" with Mansfield interchanging between the two location names in documents and on her pictures. The majority of the correspondence in the collection is from her time in England, where she described to her parents her visit to London and conditions at the camp. Food was a common topic for Mansfield, as well as conditions in the lab. Mansfield continued to take personal photographs, documenting the English countryside and life in the military huts where the women were housed. She celebrated Victory in Europe Day at this station, and there are numerous pictures of the service members rejoicing. Though the war on the western front was over, Mansfield stated in a letter to her parents that W.A.C.s were essential for the army of occupation and were scheduled to transfer to Germany.","      Mansfield was then transferred to the 9 th  Air Force stationed in Bad Kissingen, Germany to work with the 13 th  Photo Tech Unit. This resort town was occupied by the United States Army, and Mansfield noted the barbed wire and boarded up shops in letters. The lab was in a large, empty house and took considerable time to construct. Before it was finished, Mansfield worked mainly in the contact printing room or other labs in the region that needed assistance. She mentioned in letters that she and her peers often had to prove they could do the work, as many officers seemed doubtful. This testified to the sexism the W.A.C.s experienced, and that they did their job, and did it well, regardless of the obstacles. Mansfield continued her routine of taking personal photographs, which included several pictures of local Germans that accompanied the usual shots of friends and surroundings. She remained in Germany from July to November 1945, then returned to the United States after being honorably discharged from the military.","Post-War U.S. Air Force Service - After being discharged, Mansfield remained a civilian for fifteen months. Most of that time was spent helping a friend, Bertha Brownback. The two had become very close friends while in the military together but towards the end of their service, Bertha found herself pregnant without a husband. This meant she was automatically discharged from the military. When Mansfield returned to the United States, she moved with Bertha and the baby to Philadelphia where she worked for a short while with a photofinishing company. They then moved to Oklahoma because Mansfield wanted to be near family again. Soon after, Bertha died in a car accident, leaving Mansfield guardian of her child. She arranged for a couple related to her to adopt the baby, which freed her to reenlist in the military. This entire situation served as a testament to Mansfield's character; she was willing to put her career on hold to help a friend in need. It is this quality of love and friendship that stood out most strongly in her photography.","      In September 1946, Mansfield re-enlisted in the W.A.C. where she worked in Photo Labs at U.S. Bases and in Germany. When the U.S. Air Force became a separate service, she became part of the Women in the Air Force. Mansfield was stationed in Erding, Germany from 1952 to 1955. While there, she toured Europe, visiting Berlin, Paris, and Rome as well as the scenic countryside of Germany and Austria. She took numerous photographs and assembled them into a scrapbook, accompanied with historical commentary and descriptions of events. Mansfield was even able to revisit Bad Kissingen, Germany, where she had been stationed during the war, and commented on its marked difference in appearance.","      Mansfield remained in the U.S. Air Force until her retirement in 1973, after thirty years of military service where she earned the rank of Senior Master Sergeant(E-8). Throughout her military documents, Mansfield received numerous letters of praise and strong recommendations based on her work ethic. Because of her strong record, Mansfield was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal upon retirement, which is the highest award for military service during peacetime. This demonstrated to Mansfield that her hard work was appreciated, and she was very proud of it.","Retirement - Shortly before retirement, in 1970, Mansfield met Lorraine Caddy and the two became best friends. They decided that they liked each other enough to live together, and while Caddy was still in the military, they moved wherever she was stationed until her retirement in 1977. They decided to settle in Oklahoma outside Oklahoma City due to Mansfield's familial connection to the area. Mansfield returned to the University of Central Oklahoma in 1981 to complete a Bachelor of Science in Photo Journalism and a Master's Degree in Journalism in 1983. Photography remained her first love throughout her life, and she was an active member of the Oklahoma Camera Club since 1963. Mansfield passed away Sunday, December 30, 2007, at the age of 92. She is survived by her companion of 37 years, Lorraine Caddy.","This collection was donated by Lorraine A. Caddy. The collection was acquired by the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience on September 10, 2008.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed Summer and Fall 2017","This collection relates to Charlotte D. Mansfield who served in the Women's Army Corps during World War II in the European Theater as a photographer and photograph processor. She subsequently retired from the U.S. Air Force. This collection contains documents, photographs, scrapbooks, and artifacts. The documents include personal correspondence, military records, newspaper clippings, newsletters, magazines, and certificates for military service. Various military medals and patches, mugs from U.S. Air Force service, and Graflex 4x5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic camera make up the artifacts. There are eight scrapbooks that Mansfield assembled documenting her military service, primarily overseas, both during World War II and after.

She was part of the first all-women graduating class from Lowry Field Photo School in Colorado, where she was trained to be a photo technician that developed primarily aerial shots in photography labs. Mansfield was stationed at various locations throughout the United States before being transferred to lab work overseas in England and Germany. By this time, W.A.A.C. had transitioned to Women's Army Corps (W.A.C.). Throughout her military service, Mansfield took numerous personal photographs that featured her friends and surroundings. They provide an unparalleled amount of insight into the private lives of W.A.C.s as they negotiated what it meant to serve in World War II. Mansfield reenlisted after the war, eventually becoming part of the Women in the Air Force (W.A.F.), and retired in 1973.

She celebrated Victory in Europe Day at this station, and there are numerous pictures of the service members rejoicing. Though the war on the western front was over, Mansfield stated in a letter to her parents that W.A.C.s were essential for the army of occupation and were scheduled to transfer to Germany.","      Mansfield was then transferred to the 9 th  Air Force stationed in Bad Kissingen, Germany to work with the 13 th  Photo Tech Unit. This resort town was occupied by the United States Army, and Mansfield noted the barbed wire and boarded up shops in letters. The lab was in a large, empty house and took considerable time to construct. Before it was finished, Mansfield worked mainly in the contact printing room or other labs in the region that needed assistance. She mentioned in letters that she and her peers often had to prove they could do the work, as many officers seemed doubtful. This testified to the sexism the W.A.C.s experienced, and that they did their job, and did it well, regardless of the obstacles. Mansfield continued her routine of taking personal photographs, which included several pictures of local Germans that accompanied the usual shots of friends and surroundings. She remained in Germany from July to November 1945, then returned to the United States after being honorably discharged from the military.","Post-War U.S. Air Force Service - After being discharged, Mansfield remained a civilian for fifteen months. Most of that time was spent helping a friend, Bertha Brownback. The two had become very close friends while in the military together but towards the end of their service, Bertha found herself pregnant without a husband. This meant she was automatically discharged from the military. When Mansfield returned to the United States, she moved with Bertha and the baby to Philadelphia where she worked for a short while with a photofinishing company. They then moved to Oklahoma because Mansfield wanted to be near family again. Soon after, Bertha died in a car accident, leaving Mansfield guardian of her child. She arranged for a couple related to her to adopt the baby, which freed her to reenlist in the military. This entire situation served as a testament to Mansfield's character; she was willing to put her career on hold to help a friend in need. It is this quality of love and friendship that stood out most strongly in her photography.","      In September 1946, Mansfield re-enlisted in the W.A.C. where she worked in Photo Labs at U.S. Bases and in Germany. When the U.S. Air Force became a separate service, she became part of the Women in the Air Force. Mansfield was stationed in Erding, Germany from 1952 to 1955. While there, she toured Europe, visiting Berlin, Paris, and Rome as well as the scenic countryside of Germany and Austria. She took numerous photographs and assembled them into a scrapbook, accompanied with historical commentary and descriptions of events. Mansfield was even able to revisit Bad Kissingen, Germany, where she had been stationed during the war, and commented on its marked difference in appearance.","      Mansfield remained in the U.S. Air Force until her retirement in 1973, after thirty years of military service where she earned the rank of Senior Master Sergeant(E-8). Throughout her military documents, Mansfield received numerous letters of praise and strong recommendations based on her work ethic. Because of her strong record, Mansfield was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal upon retirement, which is the highest award for military service during peacetime. This demonstrated to Mansfield that her hard work was appreciated, and she was very proud of it.","Retirement - Shortly before retirement, in 1970, Mansfield met Lorraine Caddy and the two became best friends. They decided that they liked each other enough to live together, and while Caddy was still in the military, they moved wherever she was stationed until her retirement in 1977. They decided to settle in Oklahoma outside Oklahoma City due to Mansfield's familial connection to the area. Mansfield returned to the University of Central Oklahoma in 1981 to complete a Bachelor of Science in Photo Journalism and a Master's Degree in Journalism in 1983. Photography remained her first love throughout her life, and she was an active member of the Oklahoma Camera Club since 1963. Mansfield passed away Sunday, December 30, 2007, at the age of 92. She is survived by her companion of 37 years, Lorraine Caddy."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection was donated by Lorraine A. Caddy.

Gentges was born on February 12, 1918, in Farmington, Missouri. Prior to his enlistment in April of 1941, he worked as a laundry foreman who enjoyed classical music and writing. At the age of 23 the Selective Service Act of September 1940 required him to enlist. By April 1941 he was training at Camp Claiborne in Louisiana where he became a rifleman and staff sergeant for the Infantry's 113th Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division nicknamed \"Red Bull Division.\" From February 1942 to October 1944 he served in the European African Middle Eastern Theatre in the Tunisian Campaign, Rome-Arno campaign, and North Apennines Campaign. His service ended abruptly on October 19, 1944 in Cecina, Italy when he received a gunshot wound which broke his femur, for which he was awarded his third Purple Heart Medal. Aside from Purple Heart, Gentges was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal, 5 overseas service bars, one three-year service stripe, a combat infantry badge, an American defense service ribbon, and maintained good conduct throughout his service. The details of his service can be found in his memoir compiled by his daughter in 2001 and contained in the collection.\n \nIt is evident in Gentges memoirs, diary entries, and letters that he is a devout Catholic. He attended mass in both England and Ireland where he observed the Catholic/Protestant controversy and was particularly impressed with the religiosity of Ireland. When serving in Italy, he visited Rome twice where the Pope blessed his rosary. Later, Gentges became a member of the Society for the Propagation of Faith and wrote a letter to the society saying that he detested his destructive job, especially as a man of god, but understood his duty to his country. Gentges wrote \"at present I'm in the hospital with a battle injury. Soon I must return with rifle in hand to the job I detest. A man has a duty toward his country. Thus I attempt to do the best my poor abilities as a soldier will permit. Otherwise I leave everything else to whatever God wills\".  \n \nAfter officially leaving the service in August of 1945, Gentges married Florence Schwartz whom he had known since a youth on October 27, 1945 in their hometown of Farmington, Missouri. Beginning as childhood friends, Gentges admitted that once he had never had feelings for Florence, but through their letters during his service he realized his feelings for her. From then they were set to get married upon his return to the United States. Their relationship can be traced through their letters which have been copied and partially transcribed by their only daughter Mary Gentges. Charles R. Gentges passed away on February 13, 2006 and is buried along with his wife Florence and daugther Mary Elizabeth Gentges in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Saint Marys, Kansas, MO.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Staff Sergeant Charles R.

While studying for a B.S. in Business and Religion from Union University, he worked part-time as a reporter for Dun and Bradstreet. After graduating in 1941, he became pastor of the Olive Branch Baptist Church (Mississippi), while also briefly teaching high school science. Continuing with his church duties, he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky before returning to Jackson to serve as the college coordinator for the Forty-fourth College Training Detachment USAAF (Army Air Corps) from 1943-1945. He married Frances Hilliard of Jackson, Tennessee on May 15, 1945. The following year, he received his M.A. in Economics from George Peabody College and became Acting Head of the Commerce Department at Union University. The Millicans moved to Florida in 1948 where Millican studied for his Ph.D. in Business Finance and Economics. At the University of Florida, he worked as a teaching assistant, instructor and finally as Assistant Professor. Although he was appointed Assistant Dean of the College of Business Administration in 1956, he moved almost immediately to Texas where he became Dean and Professor of the School of Business Administration at Hardin-Simmons University. In 1959, he returned to Florida to become Dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of South Florida.","When Dr. Millican was appointed President of the new university in 1965, the university had no name, no buildings, no faculty and no students; he had to create the university over which he would preside. After Millican's appointment, he hired staff, found premises, and began the slow process of creating his university. He established the twin tenets of \"Accent on the Individual\" and \"Accent on Excellence,\" which continue to guide the University, and the motto, \"Reach for the Stars\". Although he retired as President in 1978, Millican returned to teaching finance as a professor in the College of Business at the University of Central Florida, as it was now known, and earned the title President Emeritus. In addition to his career in higher education, Charles Millican has worked as a consultant to business firms and Florida counties on economic growth and financial management and as a church pastor/pulpit supply minister. He chaired the Orange County Community Referendum Committee, which passed the resort tax that built the Orange County Convention Center. He has received Distinguished Alumnus awards from both the University of Florida and Union University, and he received honorary LL.D. degrees from Rollins College and UCF.","Collection organized by Angie Villafane and Nardia Cumberbatch in 2013.

When Dr. Millican was appointed President of the new university in 1965, the university had no name, no buildings, no faculty and no students; he had to create the university over which he would preside. After Millican's appointment, he hired staff, found premises, and began the slow process of creating his university. He established the twin tenets of \"Accent on the Individual\" and \"Accent on Excellence,\" which continue to guide the University, and the motto, \"Reach for the Stars\". Although he retired as President in 1978, Millican returned to teaching finance as a professor in the College of Business at the University of Central Florida, as it was now known, and earned the title President Emeritus. He chaired the Orange County Community Referendum Committee, which passed the resort tax that built the Orange County Convention Center. He has received Distinguished Alumnus awards from both the University of Florida and Union University, and he received honorary LL.D. degrees from Rollins College and UCF."],"names_coll_ssim":["Florida Technological University -- photographs","Florida Technological University","University of Central Florida -- Presidents","University of Central Florida","Millican, Charles N.
