Hollinger Boxes, NARA

Rudy Zamula has made an Annotated Index of 114 83rd Inf Hollinger Boxes at NARA, College Park, MD. The 83rd Inf Div boxes at NARA were reboxed and renumbered from the 12xxx series to the present 10xxx series in the last few years. The 114 boxes are in the range 10477 to 10591. The Index at NARA tells you nothing beyond the Unit involved, so Rudy decided to do this annotated Index in which he tries to give you a sampling of what is in the boxes. The index can be found here.
