                  <text>In 2003, the Lawrence Public Library partnered with the Dole Institute of Politics and Haskell University to capture the histories of Douglas County’s World War II veterans in the Lawrence Remembers the World War II Years Project. From 2005 to 2007, the Lawrence Public Library, the Watkins Museum of History, and the Kansas State Historical Society also embarked on a similar endeavor, the Kansas Veterans of World War II Oral History Project, which was funded by the Kansas State Legislature. This collection contains many of the video recordings and more information about the interviews conducted for these projects.</text>

                <text>George Berlin enlisted in the United States Army in December 1942. He served in the 75th Infantry Division until he was discharged in October 1945. Interviewed by Pattie Johnston on March 12, 2007, Berlin talked about his military experiences during the Second World War. Berlin was born on July 15, 1921, in Ottawa, Kansas. He went to basic training at Fort Riley, Kansas, before joining the 75th Infantry Division at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri in 1944. He was then stationed in Wales. While in Europe, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, the Battle of the Colmar with the First French Army in Alsace, and the Battle of the Ruhr. After the war, Berlin moved to Topeka, Kansas. He received a bachelor’s degree from Washburn University and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Kansas.</text>

                <text>Austin Turney lived in Lawrence, Kansas, during the Second World War. Interviewed by Megan Hershiser on May 13, 2003, as part of the Lawrence Remembers: The World War II Years Project, Turney talked about life in Lawrence during the war and the prisoner of war camp in town. Turney was 12 years old when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. He was a student at Lawrence Memorial High School. Turney’s half-brother, Bill, was drafted and sent to work on mosquito control in Panama for the duration of the war, while his father worked in the Department of Education at the University of Kansas. Following the war, Turney attended the University of Kansas and served in the military during the Korean War.</text>

                <text>Interviewed as part of the Lawrence Remembers: The World War II Years Project, Walter C. Houk, Jr. talked about his father, Walter C. Houk, Sr., who served in the military during the Second World War. Walter Sr. was born on June 10, 1917, and died during the Battle of the Bulge on January 21, 1945. He is buried at the Stull cemetery in Kansas. Before he was drafted into the military, Walter Sr. played professional baseball for the Yankees and worked at his family’s general store in Stull. Walter Jr. discussed the lack of resources available to help people who lost family members to the war, and the difficulties he faced when trying to learn more information about his father’s military service and death.</text>

                <text>Donald A. Binns joined the United States Navy in 1936 and attended boot camp in Great Lakes, Illinois. He retired after twenty years as a Chief Petty Officer. Interviewed on May 9, 2003, by Luke Thompson as part of the Lawrence Remembers: The World War II Years Project, Binns talked about his military experiences during the Second World War. Binns was born on August 5, 1917. Prior to World War II, Binns worked as a destroyer tender on the USS Melville and spent two years on the USS Bittern. After reenlisting, Binns was stationed in Guam, where he worked on a patrol boat. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, 10,000 Japanese soldiers landed on Guam and captured many American soldiers, including Binns. The Japanese soldiers then took Binns and the others to Zentsuji, a prisoner of war camp in Shikoku, Japan. Binns spent four years at the camp. During his time there, he worked at the railroad freight station. Binns discussed his time in the military before the war, the experience of being captured in Guam, and his time as a POW in Japan. He talked about the conditions of the camp, the Doolittle Raid, and his encounters with Japanese civilians and the guards. Following his retirement from the Navy, Binns taught at Lawrence High School and served on the Lawrence City Commission. He passed away on February 3, 2005.</text>

                <text>Gene Van Hoesen joined the United States Navy in April 1943 and served until 1945. Interviewed by Pattie Johnston, Van Hosen talked about his military experiences during the Second World War. He was born in Lawrence, Kansas in October 1923 and attended Baldwin High School. Before joining the Navy, he worked at the Sunflower Ordnance (Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant). He attended boot camp in Farragut, Idaho, and then went to the Navy Pier for diesel school in Chicago. He then served on the PCER-849 and engaged in combat in the Leyte Gulf and Lingayen Gulf. He spent much of his time aboard ship in Manila. He was discharged in 1945 in Norman, Oklahoma. Following the war, he married Joann Churchbaugh, who is also featured in the interview. Joann is from Lawrence, Kansas. She talked about how the war affected her family and her experience as a German Baptist. Gene Van Hoesen passed away on August 26, 2009.</text>

                <text>Leland Grammer enlisted in the United States Navy in October 1942. Interviewed on August 26, 2003, by Pattie Johnston as part of the Lawrence Remembers: The World War II Years Project, Grammer talked about his experiences during the Second World War. Grammer was born on March 3, 1915, in Nebraska. Upon enlisting in the Navy, he went to Great Lakes Naval Training Station. He also attended a sixteen-week Naval course at the University of Kansas. Grammer discussed his time at KU. Following the course, Grammer became a machinist mate third class. Grammer was stationed at Pearl Harbor and served on the Ajax. He was discharged in 1946. After the war, he moved to Lawrence, Kansas, and worked at Miller Furniture until his retirement.</text>

                <text>Lee Scott served in the United States Army (101st Airborne Division) during the Second World War. Interviewed Pattie Johnston on February 2, 2007, Scott talked about his civilian and military experiences. He was born in Turley, Oklahoma. He was one of eleven children and his parents worked in the oil fields for Texaco. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Scott was drafted into the Army and went to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He then became a paratrooper. He was then sent to England while preparing for the Normandy invasion. Scott’s company landed at Sainte-Mère-Église. Following D-Day, Scott went to Holland, where he hid for almost two days in the raptors of a Dutch family’s home while German soldiers moved through the area. From Holland, Scott went to Germany. He discussed his interactions with the German citizens and his experience at the Siege of Bastogne. During his service, Scott was injured twice and received a Purple Heart. Upon returning to the U. S., Scott struggled to adjust to civilian life. He began baking and worked at the chain grocery store, Dillons. Also featured is Scott’s wife, Agnes, whom he married in the 1950s. She talked about growing up in Kansas during World War II and reflected on rationing. Agnes passed away on April 18, 2017.</text>

                <text>Joseph "Joe" Baringer served in the Army (101st Airborne Division) from 1941 to 1945. Interviewed by Pattie Johnston on October 1, 2007, Baringer talks about his experiences during the Second World War. Baringer was born on February 21, 1918, in New Paris, Indiana. Baringer attended the University of Indiana in Wilmington and graduated with a business degree in 1940. He was drafted into the Army on April 9, 1941. Between 1941 and 1943, Baringer spent time at Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, MS and Fort Bragg, CA. In 1943, Baringer deployed to Liverpool, England. While waiting to enter France, Baringer played the trumpet for his company's dance band. On June 7, 1944, the second day of the D-Day invasion, Baringer entered Normandy by glider. He talked about what it was like to be on the glider with eight other soldiers, and their trek from the Mourmelon-le-Grand quarters to Bastogne. Upon being rescued by General Patton during the Battle of the Bulge, Baringer was sent to Lake Geneva. He was there when the Germans surrendered and was instructed to march with the German prisoners. He talked about their interactions and discussed visiting Adolf Hitler's hideout, in which he and his fellow soldiers took some souvenirs, including salt and pepper shakers. Throughout his service, Baringer rose to the rank of Sergeant and received the Purple Heart. He was discharged at Fort Wayne, IN in September 1945. Baringer then worked at Standard Oil (Amoco) and spent the rest of his career there, retiring in 1978. He passed away on July 17, 2012, in Lawrence, Kansas.</text>

                  <text>In 2003, the Lawrence Public Library partnered with the Dole Institute of Politics and Haskell University to capture the histories of Douglas County’s World War II veterans in the Lawrence Remembers the World War II Years Project. From 2005 to 2007, the Lawrence Public Library, the Watkins Museum of History, and the Kansas State Historical Society also embarked on a similar endeavor, the Kansas Veterans of World War II Oral History Project, which was funded by the Kansas State Legislature.

                <text>Harold Ballew served in the United States Navy from 1945 to 1946. Interviewed by Helen Krische on March 15, 2007, Ballew talked about his experiences during the Second World War. In this two-part interview, Ballew shared photographs of the Crusade, his company, and his father’s company, who served in World War 1. Ballew was born on February 22, 1927, in Glasgow, Missouri. He also lived in Armstrong and Fayette, Missouri. He joined the Navy upon turning 18 in 1945 and attended boot camp in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He spent his time in the Navy on the naval ship, the Crusade. Ballew’s job was to resupply the destroyer fleets in Okinawa, Japan. After 15 months on active duty, Ballew was honorably discharged on July 13, 1946, as a Seaman First Class. He received the Asiatic Pacific Medal and the Victory Medal. Following his military service, Ballew moved to Baldwin City, Kansas. He passed away on August 24, 2010.</text>
