ON THE COVER: On the Cover is a watercolor painting from the Peter Sanfilippo Collection (98.0731) at the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience.
Relief Column (Tunisia, Africa 1943) - There is hardly an occurrence more appreciative to an exhaustive soldier than the belated arrival of a relief column of fresh troops. Witnessing such a welcomed view reassures a battered man’s faith in his fellow comrades. The unnerved and wounded are resurrected in spirit to thrive, and thus persevere in a new day.
84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History 1 Dear Conference Delegates,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Jacksonville, and the 84th Annual Meeting of the Society of Military History hosted by the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience Department of History, Florida State University. Our yearly gathering offers an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in our field, a moment to welcome graduate students just joining the profession, and time to reconnect with old friends while making new ones. The Program Committee has assembled an outstanding program that should spur much conversation over the next few days. We are all in their debt for the hours of hard work they voluntarily dedicated to crafting this excellent array of panels and roundtables.
I would like to highlight a few key events at this year’s meeting.
The two Presidential panels continue the SMH tradition of building bridges with other professional organizations to highlight the relevance of military history discipline-wide. This year, our two presidential panel co-sponsors are the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians.
This past year, the SMH created a Committee for Excellence in Teaching Military History, and from this point forward, the SMH annual conference program will include two Vice-Presidential panels dedicated to exploring issues related to teaching military history. This year’s teaching panels examine using digital resources and strategies for making military history accessible to students. I am particularly excited about this new initiative which will increase our outreach and help ensure that military history remains a vital part of the curriculum.
2 84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History For the first time, the Program Committee has organized a graduate student poster session on Friday afternoon, followed by our traditional Graduate Student reception. Please take a moment to stop by and discuss the work of our young scholars.
Robert Berlin is retiring as Executive Director of the SMH after this conference, but he is not leaving us. The Board recently appointed Bob to a two-year term as our delegate to the annual American Learned Council Society conference. Nonetheless, Bob’s retirement marks a major milestone for the SMH, and it has been a privilege to work with him. We will recognize Bob formally at the banquet.
Finally, our annual meeting gives us a chance to say good-bye to our late past President Jeffrey Grey. Jeff considered the SMH his second home, and becoming its president was one of the highlights of his illustrious career. We are honored that Emma Grey accepted our invitation to attend the meeting. Emma, along with others, will speak at a special hour dedicated to “Commemorating Jeff Grey” on Friday afternoon. To allow the entire membership to attend, no other sessions or meetings are scheduled. A second panel focusing on Jeff’s scholarship, teaching, and mentoring will take place on Saturday afternoon.
I dedicate the 84th Annual Meeting of the Society of Military History to President Jeffrey Grey, scholar, teacher, mentor, and friend.
Jennifer D. Keene
President, Society of Military History
84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History 3 Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience, part of the History Department at Florida State University, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to Florida’s largest city. My staff and I know that Jacksonville has much to offer visitors. Though Florida State University is based 180 miles away in Florida’s state capital, Tallahassee, we have had many trips to Jacksonville over the past several years. We encourage you to visit the Cummer Museum of Art, the Jacksonville Zoo, and the nearby beaches. Within walking distance of the Hyatt are the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Florida Theatre, the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, and a superb used bookstore, Chamblin’s Uptown.
In hosting the 84th Annual Meeting, we are particularly proud to have organized a series of programs geared to Society for Military History members and the general public. While the central purpose of any academic conference is to promote the exchange of ideas among scholars, the Institute believes that it is vital to promote a better understanding of military history among the general public. Moreover, we believe there is a receptive public for our work and we hope future meeting organizers will make it a tradition to sponsor a public book signing for SMH book prize winners. This year’s book signing will take place at a local Barnes and Noble on Friday evening and this event is listed in your program along with several other public ones.
As many of you know, I hosted the 2003 meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee. In organizing this year’s gathering, I cannot help but reflect on the significant growth of the SMH in the last fourteen years. Our meetings have grown in attendance, the number of publishers present at the book exhibit, and the quality of scholarly papers presented. The Society now supports graduate students with competitive travel grants and hosts a graduate reception.
4 84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History Why does any organization or individual undertake the task of coordinating an academic meeting? Certainly we hope to bring greater visibility of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience and highlight the overall strength of the History Department at Florida State University, but more importantly, gatherings like ours continue to play a vital role in advancing scholarship. They serve as important forums where senior scholars mentor junior ones, especially those still completing their doctorates.
Thank you for the opportunity to host another society meeting and also express my appreciation for the hard work of several committees including the Program, Awards and Teaching Committees and the Executive Director, Robert H. Berlin and Society President, Jennifer D. Keene. A special note of commendation is due to the entire staff of the Institute, especially Anne Marsh, Jordan Bolan, Jill Szaroleta, Amelia Cross, Megan Quinn, and Mike Kasper.
Hoping your time in Jacksonville is productive and enjoyable,
G. Kurt Piehler Director/Associate Professor of History Institute on World War II and the Human Experience Department of History Florida State University [email protected] ww2.fsu.edu

84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History 15 Keynote Speaker
16 84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History The 84th Annual Meeting is hosted by the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience. Housed in the Department of History at Florida State University, the Institute is one part of a strong War and Society program found in the department. The Institute on World War II was founded in 1997 by the late Dr. William Oldson, who sought to preserve the photographs, letters, and artifacts of service members and their families, often saving these items from being thrown away completely. Our first major collections came from Paul Dougherty, a photographer with the 9th Air Force and 3rd Army, and George R. Langford, who served in the 20th Armored Division under General Patton in France.
Since 1997, our work has continued to enable thousands of veterans to preserve their legacies of service, and our collections of primary resources now total almost 7,000, largely in the form of personal papers. These collections are contained in nearly 800 cubic feet of paper documents, 75 cubic feet of photographs, 382 linear feet of books, more than 600 maps, paintings, and magazines, and 300 cubic feet of artifacts. These collections came to Tallahassee from 49 states and Washington, DC, as well as dozens of international collections from around the world. One of the Institute’s largest collections, donated by Tom Brokaw, contains the thousands of letters, photographs, manuscripts, and books he collected while writing his Greatest Generation books.
Each year, the Institute sponsors events that seek to bring new perspectives and cutting edge scholarship to the Florida State community. Our lecture program brings leading scholars to campus for speaking engagements semi-annually since 2012, including Conrad Crane, Sheldon Garon, John Kinder, Barak Kushner, Judy Litoff, and others. Additionally, we have sponsored two international academic conferences in Tallahassee, one focusing on the Global History of Religion in the Second World War and the other examining Comparative Home Fronts. Other initiatives have led to a exhibit, “Witness to War” at the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, Florida (2013) that included selections from the Institute’s extensive photographic collections. The exhibit “The Human Experience,” at the Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts (2015) offered a comprehensive overview of the Institute’s extensive holdings of documents and artifacts.
84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History 17 The Institute has strived to not only serve the needs of scholars, but also make our facilities a living history laboratory for students at Florida State University. Through digital humanities projects like crowdsourcing letter and diary transcriptions, digitization of photographic collections, and hands-on learning for students in Museum Studies, the Institute on World War II serves as a distinctive resource for students learning how to “do” history in the twenty-first century.
We welcome researchers seeking to investigate any aspect of World War II. The Institute’s collections strengths include the American home front, the role of women, the European, Pacific, and China-Burma-India Theaters of Operations, the American Merchant Marine, and the American occupation of Germany and Japan. Our collections have been used in a number of publications and media projects, including the History Channel documentary series, The Color of War.
Currently, we are in the process of adding our internal database and finding aids to the FSU Archon system, which can be found at: http://fsuarchon.fcla.edu. While Archon still represents a small portion of our holdings, you can find more collections by submitting a formal research inquiry to our staff at [email protected].
If you are interested in planning a research trip to FSU and the Institute on World War II, note also that we now offer a competitive travel grant for scholars and advanced graduate students. As a result of a gift from the late Thomas S. Cundy, Sr., the Institute’s Cundy Travel Grant is in its second year and helps fund travel to Tallahassee for research in the Institute’s Collections.
For more information, visit the Institute’s website at: http://ww2.fsu.edu or contact, Professor G. Kurt Piehler, Institute Director, at [email protected].

Thursday, March 30, 2017 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Transportation to be provided Cost: $90 per person Minimum: 24 People
A guided tour of Kingsley Plantation at the Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve in Jacksonville will kick off the exploration. Built by influential Second- Spanish Period merchant and planter Zephaniah Kingsley and his Senegalese wife Anna Madigine Jai, Kingsley Plantation offers a fascinating glimpse into Florida’s colonial past as well as the African American history of the Southeast.
Amelia Island, an iconic sea island located less than an hour north of downtown Jacksonville, offers a whole new world of discovery. Karibo Café, located in downtown Fernandina Beach in the heart of Amelia Island, offers a menu comprised of “eclectic cuisine and affordable gourmet” dishes. A limited menu will be offered on this visit to the group.
After lunch the group will tour Fort Clinch, a masonry coastal fortification first constructed in the decade after the Second Seminole War. Fort Clinch served as a base of operations for Union forces after 1862 and housed troops during the Spanish-American War a generation later. As the centerpiece of Fort Clinch State Park today, the fort straddles nature and history.

Cummer Museum and Lunch
Saturday, April 1, 2017 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM Cost: $50.00 per person Minimum: 24 People
The Cummer Museum of Arts & Gardens, located on the banks of the St. Johns River, houses nearly 5,000 objects in its permanent collection of world-class pieces from 2100 B.C to the 21st century. Its century-old history bears the design of the first names in landscape design and horticulture. Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of the Cummer Museum’s Olmsted Garden, was among the first to regard landscape architecture as a profession and a fine art, virtually creating the profession. The 2.5 acres of historic gardens exemplify the 20th century garden design comprised of fountains, reflecting pools, and sculptures throughout the grounds. One of Jacksonville’s oldest trees, the Majestic Cummer Oak, with a canopy of more than 150 feet can also be found here.
24 84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History St. Augustine Tour Ft. Castillo De San Marcos, Conch House Restaurant, and Flagler College
Sunday, April 2, 2017 10:30 AM - 5:30 PM Transportation to be provided Cost: $90.00 per person Minimum: 24 People
Unique to North American architecture, the Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fortress in the United States. With the “bastion system” of fortification, the fort displays the culmination of hundreds of years of military defense and engineering. It is one of only two fortifications worldwide built from of a semi-rare limestone called coquina.
Lunch at the Conch House Restaurant will feel like a trip to the Caribbean with the chance to dine under palm trees or even in one of the unique grass huts out over the water. Specializing in seafood, chicken, steaks, and delightful salads, the Conch House offers an authentic Caribbean-style dining experience. Though a limited menu will be given for our group, the Conch House will not disappoint.
Named 2nd in the U.S News & World Report’s Best College guide for Best Regional College in the South, Flagler’s coastal campus is rich with history. Located in the nation’s oldest city, Flagler College is a small, private residential university displaying stunning Spanish architecture. Tours offered spotlight the architectural heritage of the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, built by Henry M. Flagler. The world’s largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany stained-glass windows can be found in Flagler’s dining hall surrounded by hand painted murals on both the walls and the ceiling.

112 84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History CALL FOR PAPERS 85th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History
“Landscapes of War and Peace”
April 5-8, 2018, Louisville, Kentucky
The Society for Military History is pleased to call for papers for its 85th Annual Meeting, hosted by the University of Louisville’s College of Arts & Sciences and the Department of History in Louisville, Kentucky.
For the 2018 SMH meeting, the program committee will consider paper and panel proposals on all aspects of military history, especially encouraging submissions that reflect on this year’s theme,Landscapes of War and Peace.
We will mark two particularly important anniversaries in 2018, the centennial of the end of the First World War and four hundred years since the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War, one of the most destructive conflicts in history. The program committee invites submissions that explore the outbreak of warfare and the difficult ways out of fighting and towards peace. Because the conference will be hosted in the heart of the Ohio country, locale of many early American conflicts, the program committee is also interested in submissions that focus on the geography, environment, and spaces of warfare.
Panel proposals must include a panel title (along with the full names and institutional affiliations of each participant and the full title of each paper), a one-page abstract summarizing the theme of the panel, a one-page abstract for each paper proposed, and a one-page curriculum vitae for each panelist (including the chair and commentator), with email addresses and other contact information provided for all participants. Submissions of pre-organized panels are strongly encouraged and will be given preference in the selection process. Individual paper proposals are also welcome and must include a one-page abstract of the paper, one-page vita, and contact information, including email. If accepted, individual papers will be assigned by the program committee to an appropriate panel with a chair and commentator.
Poster proposals allow military historians (especially, but not limited to, graduate students) to share their research through visual materials. Proposals for single individual presentations may be submitted as posters.
84th Annual Meeting of the Society for Military History 113 Participants may present one paper, serve on a roundtable, or provide panel comments. They may not fill more than one of these roles during the conference, nor should they propose to do so to the Program Committee. Members who act as panel chairs for only one session may deliver a paper, serve on a roundtable, or offer comments in a different session. Members who serve as both the chair and commentator of a single session may not present in another session.
All submissions should be sent in a single PDF document which includes all elements (abstracts, CVs, and contact information). Submissions sent in different formats will not be accepted.
All proposals must be submitted electronically to the program committee by October 1, 2017. Email address: [email protected]. All presenters, chairs, and commentators must be members of the Society for Military History by December 31, 2017.
The meeting will be held at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
