Addendum to the Papers of Hardy Cross Dillard [c], 1943-1944
Scope and Contents
During World War II Dillard was quickly promoted from major to colonel. In late 1943 and early 1944 he served as director of training with the Civil Affairs Division of the First Army in England preparing for the aftermath of the invasion of France. His records of this work were filed in a box that he kept at the Law School, perhaps because for a number of years the papers were classified. The box was discovered by a secretary in a 1988 renovation move and transferred to the Archives.
