World War II Souvenir
Edition
Published in the Jeanerette Enterprise in 1945
Near the end of World War II, the
Jeanerette Enterprise, under the leadership of Mr. A. J. Hebert, Editor,
published a World War II Souvenir Edition Pamphlet as a supplement to the
newspaper. It contained the photos and a brief bio of the men and women
serving their country from Jeanerette, Louisiana and the vicinity. It also
contained patriotic ads.
In a Foreword, Mr. A.O. Rhoad thanked the
Editor and stated:
"...It is the hope of Mr. Hebert that a
copy of this volume will reach every one of our community now in the service
and that it will serve as a convenient place to make additional notations of
events in the lives of the boys and girls listed herein. It is also the
hope that this volume will be guarded so that years hence 'when like our sires
our sons are gone' those for whom this war is fought can turn over the leaves,
then yellow with age, and point with pride to that fore bearer of theirs and
read the notations under his or her photograph. You, old soldiers of
today, will then be more than a name on a family tree; your life, your work,
your sacrifices will live again for a moment or two in the memories of your
grateful descendants."
Patricia Hebert Forsander provided thecajuns.com a
copy of one of the "yellowed with age" pamphlets. She had contacted The Daily
Iberian regarding the copyright and was informed that the pamphlet could be
copied or published to fulfill the desire of Mr. A. J. Hebert, the Editor, that
it be available for future generations. Mrs. Forsander dedicated
the pamphlet to the memory of her sister, Harriet Hebert Schwing, a Jeanerette
Native and long-time resident of New Iberia, who passed away of September 18,
2007 in New Iberia. In addition to her many other life achievements, Mrs.
Schwing was an enthusiastic genealogist. Note: Mrs. Forsander passed away
June 25, 2008 in Seattle, Washington. She is buried in St. John Cemetery,
Lafayette, LA.
The original copy was donated to the
Jeanerette Museum; and, a copy was donated to the Louisiana State Archives
to add to it's collection. Ms. Judy Riffel, Treasurer of Le Comité des
Archives de la Louisiane and Editor of Le Raconteur has provided the
following information about the collection:
The Louisiana State Archives has three
versions of the book entitled Fighting Men of Louisiana and A History of World
War II, covering a multi-parish area (accession #P1986-131 and #N2001-20);
three versions of The Men and Women in World War II, covering Avoyelles,
DeSoto, Natchitoches, Sabine, and Webster Parishes (#N2003-6); and a booklet
entitled 1945 Acadia Parish, La., Honor Roll (#N2003-6). All seven books are
available on microfilm. None of the books were originally indexed, however,
volunteers indexed each one. Hard copies of those indexes are also available
on the shelf in the Archives' Research Room library.
Although copies of some of these books
can be found in a few libraries around the state, the Archives' collection is
believed to be the largest collection in one place of the books commemorating
Louisiana service men and women in World War II.
This project was made possible through
the efforts of Le Comité des Archives de la Louisiane ( http://www.sec.state.la.us/archives/archives/archives-comite.htm)
the non-profit support group for the Louisiana State Archives.
