There is very little biographical information on
Colonel Hanes in these papers. His rank
designation was 05198, Quarter Master Commander (QMC).
Hanes also was reassigned in 1943 to be Commanding
Officer, General Depot G-45. Letters written to
Colonel Hanes indicate that he was married to Mary
Evelyn, living in Washington, D.C.
The Colonel Dorris A. Hanes (1942-1943) collection is divided into
five series. The papers also contain an audit of the
Stanley Warehouse. Photographs also include
interior and exterior shots of
Stanley Warehouse and additional photos of
military personnel.
Of special note are photographs of a visit to inspect the facilities
and visit troops by
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of U.S. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. There are two photographs
of
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by
Colonel Dorris A. Hanes, speaking with African
American soldiers.
A photographer identified as Ingledew in
Liverpool, England, 1942, took a majority of the
photographs and many have a series numbers written on the back. Many of the
photographs identify individual soldiers by name and their hometowns. Hometowns
include
Chicago and
Springfield, IL,
Winthrop, MA,
Passaic, New Jersey,New York City, Cuero and
San Antonio, TX and
West Virginia.
Note that although photographs with
Eleanor Roosevelt have her name spelled
incorrectly, the finding aid uses the correct spelling. Other names are spelled
one way on the back of the photograph and differently in the front captions.
Information about photos is typed on the back and handwritten on the front.
Finding aid attempts to duplicate information as written including grammatical
and punctuation errors. The exception is in the originals inconsistent and
confusing use of primarily upper case letters. An attempt was made to make this
more uniform in the finding aid by using both upper and lower case letters.
