The degaussing range house was linked to the deperming facilities built during the war at Beckoning Point, further north on the Waipio Peninsula. These facilities are representative of the great expansion of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base during WWII to include Waipio Peninsula and other outlying lands. The range house embodies distinctive characteristics of a unique building type, which controlled a new technology. Description: Facility No. 1 was located on the southern tip of Waipio Peninsula, where the Pearl Harbor entrance channel splits into two branches, one to West Loch and one to the main part of the harbor around Ford Island.

Foreword In narrating the naval history of a war, one approach open to a historian is to record the general story of naval operations, then complement the main history with works dealing with specialized fields. The Naval History Division plans to follow this approach in the case of the Vietnam War, focusing the Division's efforts primarily on an account of naval operations but accompanying the major history with publications in limited fields deserving of treatment beyond that to be given in the main work.

    Supreme Sacrifice, Extraordinary Service: Profiles of SDSU Military Alumni by Robert Fikes, Jr., Librarian San Diego State University San Diego, CA: San Diego State University Library and Information Access, 2015 Contents Preface…...…………………………………………….1 SDSU War Memorial Profiles……………………….3 World War II…………………………………..……4 Korean War……………………………………….67 Vietnam War………………………………………77 Iraq & Afghanistan..………………………….……101 Non-Combat Casualties…………….…….………104 Generals & Admirals………………………………113 Outstanding Aztecs………………………………. 134 SDSU Military Benchmarks……………….……..165 War Memorial Statistics……………….…….……171 References……………………………………….....172 SDSU War Memorial Committee (1996)………..174 1 Preface This tribute to San Diego State University’s military alumni started out as one of three sabbatical projects in the fall of 2005 and was intended to be a survey of the school’s contributions to the nation’s armed forces. The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation,that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the home front. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.

  • Harold Roe Bartle (1901-1974) Papers 1933-1974 20 Cubic Feet
    THE STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI RESEARCH CENTER-KANSAS CITY K0154 Harold Roe Bartle (1901-1974) Papers 1933-1974 20 cubic feet Papers of a scout executive, civic leader, public speaker, church leader, educator, and mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. PROVENANCE: Mrs. H. Roe Bartle donated these materials as accession KA0265 on January 17, 1985. Additional materials were received as KA0382 on September 18, 1986; KA055c on February 23, 1990; KA0557 on March 15, 1990; KA0572 on April 27, 1990; KA0591 on July 19, 1990; and KA0840 on November 14, 1994. BIOGRAPHY: Harold Roe Bartle was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1901. Bartle received his preparatory education at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. He later received an LL.B. from the University of Chattanooga in 1920 and a J.D. from the Hamilton College of Law in Chicago. He was admitted to the bar in Kentucky in 1920 and entered the firm of Russell and Taylor in Lebanon, Kentucky. In 1921 he entered the Missouri bar but did not practice law in Missouri because he entered professional scouting. As a young attorney and scout executive, he felt that age would help his credibility, so he added ten years to his birth date, saying he was born in 1891. In 1923 Bartle became a professional scout serving as scout executive in three councils. From 1923-1925 he served in Casper, Wyoming; from 1925-1928 in St. Joseph, Missouri; and from 1928 to 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri. While a scout executive, Bartle served as a public speaker, financial counselor and in public relations.
