Description: These reports are made up of a collection of facts and quotes regarding the Japanese-American battalion that fought in Italy, and others. Reminders that not a single Nisei soldier has betrayed trust, offer admiration for those groups of soldiers who are just as loyal as any other group of Americans; furthermore, the soldiers are noted for their great heroism despite heavy casualties.
The War Relocation Authority (WRA), together with the Wartime Civil Control Administration (WCCA), the Civil Affairs Division (CAD) and the Office of the Commanding General (OFG) of the Western Defense Command (WDC) operated together to segregate and house some 110,000 men women and children from 1942 to 1945. The collection contains documents and photographs relating to the establishment and administrative workings of the (WDC), the (WRA) and the (WCCA) for the year 1942.
