Volunteer Saves World War II Photo Collection

    Apple in front of Willis display 450x321 Today is a good day to run with an article about a rescue--even if it is a salvation of a different sort. The article, "Division Volunteer Saves World War II Photo Collection," details the near loss of a treasure trove of primary sources. Carolyn Apple, an emergency medicine physician, saved World War II-era photographs taken by Dover, Delaware native William D. Willis who had served as a military photographer in World War II.* William D. Willis As the account of the rescue of the photographs falls into the purview of my blog, In Their Own Words, I approached the author about the use of the article on PT. Jim Yurasek, the article's author and press contact and information lead for the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, immediately said "yes."

     After much consideration, however, we have decided that readers might enjoy the other articles and information found on the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs website, and therefore have provided links for the reader.

      As always, the folks here at Passed Time would like to thank America's veterans. Pat Earnest, 2015. 

*Many of Willis' photographs are now on display in an exhibit titled World War II: Through the Lens of William D. Willis at Legislative Hall in Dover.
