Description	The Ohio Historical Society holds the Robert S. Beightler Papers, call number MSS 593.; Some photographs in Series I, II and III have corresponding negatives in Series IV, V and VI. However, no attempt was made to match individual negatives and prints during the course of processing the collection.; Photographs were taken by Fairchild Studio; the United States Army Signal Corps; and 37th Infantry Division photographers. Identified photographers are Sergeant William J. Barbero; Lieutenant Robert E. Field; T/S William H. Mayo and T/4 Steve W. Loska. Drawings by P. Eismann.; Collection documents General Beightler<U+2019>s activities and the service of the 37th Infantry Division in the Pacific Theater during World War II, including aerial photographs of Pacific Theater terrain. Among the individual units pictured in the collection are the 112th and 117th Engineers; the 129th, 145th, 147th and 148th Infantry Regiments; and the 37th Division Signal Company. Additionally, there are photographs of military equipment used in World War II; soldiers daily activities; and the Division in training at Camp Shelby, Mississippi and Camp Claibourne, Louisiana. There is also a group of cartoon drawings that humorously illustrate camp scenes and basic training.; Beightler took command of the 37th Infantry Division in the fall of 1940. He was the only National Guard officer to lead a division through training and combat duties, retaining command more continuously than any other World War II Division commander. After the war, Beightler was one of two Major-Generals in the National Guard to continue serving with the regular army. The 37th Infantry was nicknamed the Buckeye Division because it was originally comprised of Ohio National Guard units. The division went into combat in April 1943 on Guadacanal, Solomon Islands and spent over 600 days in action before the end of the war, more combat time than any other division. The 37th Infantry played a significant role in the invasion of the Phillippines.
