Printed materials, papers, and ephemera, 1917-1919 and undated
- Scope and content:
-
Charles Reed mounted many printed materials and ephemera in his scrapbooks, most but not all of them collected during his Medical Corps training and American Expeditionary Forces services in France. These loose items were housed separately from the scrapbook albums in Boxes 1-2.
Ephemera includes postcards; Reed's military identity papers and AEF identity card; a few German items, including German publications and two letters from Berlin, of unknown origin; and French ration cards, receipts, and coupons.
Printed materials chiefly comprise military orders; typed bulletins and instructions; news clippings, chiefly rlated to Reed's work with portable radiology equipment; souvenir programs and booklets; and tourist guides for soldiers in France during World War I. One set of materials documents elaborate shows and games held by the United States and Allies in Paris in 1919, as U.S. troops prepared to return home.
These loose materials are similar to Scrapbook Series materials mounted on pages, especially military papers and news clippings.
