The materials in this series include publications such as pamphlets, newspapers, war posters, and other war propaganda concerning the U.S. military, the war in the Philippines, the Italian campaign, Europe, and U.S. Civil Defense.

Other subjects for propaganda include Nazi influence in neutral or allied nations, Italy and the Italian front, as well as propaganda material concerning the American home front. The American propaganda includes information on civil defense such as camouflaging large installations and the "abc's of incendiaries".

Other material in the collection includes photographs of Paul W. Kendall and others in non-combat activities, such as an officer's dinner and an inspection of an army troop. Also included in this series are materials from Kendall's post-World War II service including a daily operations log, reports on marine operations in Korea, and a World War II Axis soldier's deposition. This series also includes material from Kendall's service during the Siberian Intervention. The Siberian Intervention (1918-1922) involved the Entente nations from World War I.
