The collection consists of Philips' World War II memoir, which was edited by his son, Charles Philips, Jr. In 1942, Philips lived in West Palm Beach, FL, and he finished high school and attended college for one semester at Palm Beach Junior College before enlisting in 1943 in the Army. He did his basic training out of Camp Campbell, KY, and later did Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) training out of Ohio State University and Muskingum College (also located in Ohio). He finished training at Camp Swift, TX. Philips fought in Europe in 1944 and 1945 at the Siegfried Line with the 102nd Division. Phillips became sick with an infection on his feet and finished the war in US hospitals. The collection has many personal photos and reprinted documents (especially V-Mails), as well as maps.
