Biography:
Lois Logan Horn served in the United States Navy during World War II as a member of
Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES).
Scope and Content:
The Horn papers comprise interview transcripts, correspondence, photographs, military
publications, and newspaper articles. The majority of the material is photocopies,
with a few original letters, publications, and photographs from World War II that
were gathered by Horn during the interview process. The majority of interviews took
place in 1993 and 1994, with some taking place earlier. Lois Logan Horn acquired the
material after she documented her own memories and interviewed her husband and her
brother about their experiences during World War II. Her work expanded when family
members and friends also wanted to talk about their own memories. The interviews
provide a view of the impact of the war on the United States.
Many of those who are represented in the collection served for the United States
armed services, including service in the Pacific Theater and in the WAVES. The
memoires detail imprisonment in the Phillippines, the Bataan Death March, the war
efforts in the United States, and experiences in different branches of the military.
Others detail pre-war experiences in Washington, D.C., China, Hungary, Italy, and
Japan, along with views of a conscientious objector, those forced into relocation
camps, and those in the war industry.
