Specific archivist requests

Black and White Portraits of U.S. Army Personnel and Other Personages, ca. 1900–ca. 1982 or Color Portraits of U.S. Army Personnel and Other Personages, ca. 1935–ca. 1982

Dear Mr. Greene,

Having received clarification, this is the official request for official portraits.

To keep costs down (not more than 120 USD / 158.24 USD), not more than 2 hours should be spent on the search. The search should be in these series: Black and White Portraits of U.S. Army Personnel and Other Personages, ca. 1900–ca. 1982 or Color Portraits of U.S. Army Personnel and Other Personages, ca. 1935–ca. 1982.

I request up to 8 scans of official portraits of the below individuals, ideally at bust-length or half-length. If you find more than one portrait that fulfills the requirements for each individual, the portrait with the latest date taken should be scanned. If a four-star portrait cannot be found of any listed individual, the latest portrait taken of them at a lower rank (e.g. latest three-star) should be substituted. These requirements are all subject to the 2-hour or below search time.

  • An official portrait of GEN Malin Craig as Chief of Staff of the Army, taken between 1935 and 1939. For this one, it should be an official portrait of him in a four-star military uniform as opposed to a civilian suit; while not specifically what I want; here's an example of what I'm looking for.
  • An official portrait of GEN Clyde Davis Eddleman as Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, taken between 1960 and 1962. Ideally, it should be a high-resolution scan of this portrait here.
  • An official portrait of GEN Robert Jefferson Wood as Director of Military Assistance, taken between 1962 and 1965. If a four-star portrait is not available, scan the latest portrait of him at any earlier rank where found.
  • An official portrait of LTG Lewis Blaine Hershey as Director, Selective Service System, taken on 12 October 1958. This should be easier to find - I pulled this low-res scan from Hershey's military personnel file, digitized by NARA. A higher-resolution scan of that should be found.
  • An official portrait of GEN George Henry Decker as Chief of Staff of the Army, taken between 1960 and 1962. Ideally, it should be a high-resolution, full-length scan of this portrait here.
  • An official portrait of GEN Creighton Williams Abrams Jr. as Chief of Staff of the Army, taken between 1972 and 1974.
  • An official portrait of GEN Frederick Carlton Weyand as Chief of Staff of the Army, taken between 1974 and 1976. Ideally, it should be a high-resolution, full-length scan of this portrait here.
  • An official portrait of GEN John Hersey Michaelis as Commander in Chief, United Nations Command, Commander, U.S. Forces Korea and Commanding General, Eighth U.S. Army, taken between 1969 and 1972. Ideally, it should be a high-resolution, full-length scan of this portrait I found on WorthPoint.

For your reference, I have a full list of official portraits that I intend to look for in future linked here. Please inform me of any problems or issues on your end.

Kind regards,
