Background

Scope and content:

Vaughn Delong served in the Army Civil Service/Affairs in the European Theater (ETO); he began in the 30th Division, transferred to Detachment H6H2 of Civil Affairs, became the commanding officer of Detachment I7DZ, and ended his time in Germany as the Chief of Education and Cultural Relations for the military governments in Hesse as a civilian with the powers of a brigadier general. The collection of Vaughn Delong includes a manuscript entitled "After the Fighting Ends," which details Delong's transition into the U.S. Army Reserve, training, and time spent in England, Belgium, and American-occupied Germany. He wrote of his time spent as a Civil Service Officer, as the officer in charge of the German county Oberlahnkreis, and as judge of a military court for civilian cases. He then detailed the educational reform in Germany and the difficulties inherent in German education. Also included in the collection is Delong's curriculum vitae, which details his academic background and the jobs and responsibilities he held both in the United States and in Europe. Finishing the collection are three photos, which are of thirteen members of the Civil Service in fatigues, three men in front of an Army Jeep, and a mass grouping of bodies.
