Annual Unit History...

A Unit History Supplement was recorded every year by the Unit Historian.  The position of Unit Historian was an "Additional Duty" given to an officer.  This position would, as the name implies, be performed in addition to the officer's normal duty.  The Company Commander made such appointments.  

We have been able to assemble all of the Annual History Supplements for the 281st AHC.  Supplements for the 145th ALP, the 6th ALP have been and are still difficult to find.  We are still in the hunt and if you have any of these documents, please contact us.  To ensure accurate and completely factual information, we are providing copies of the original documents on the website.  The original documents have been preserved in Adobe Acrobat format and can be viewed by selecting the appropriate link below.  Some of the files are quite large and may take a few minutes to load.  Once the Adobe files are opened it may be necessary to use your browser back arrow to go back to the this page.
