Philippine forces record

Colonel James C. Hughes used this notebook from 1941-1942 to record organizations and staff for the Philippine forces during World War II. During this time Hughes was in command of the 11th Field Artillery Battalion (Philippine Army).

Hughes, a Kansan, is among a select number of soldiers who served in a major military expedition and two world wars. As a photographer he documented his time at the Mexican border in 1916 and in Europe in 1919 taking more than 600 images. As a Japanese prisoner of war in World War II, Hughes kept a daily diary and, upon liberation, brought home items from his imprisonment. He and his family donated most of these items to the Kansas Museum of History.
