Scope and content
On July 3, 1942, Mrs. R.H. Pugh, left, purchased a war bond from Esther (Mrs. Clinton) Beal at the Rhodes Brothers Annex during the Retail War Bond Sales Drive. Mrs. Pugh witnessed the December 7th attack on Hawaii by the Japanese. She showed Mrs. Beal one of her most precious mementos, a piece of a Japanese plane that she saw shot down during the raid. The metal was painted bright red, once part of the rising sun insignia on the plane. At the time of the raid, Mrs. Pugh was living with her husband, a 27 year veteran Army Sergeant, in a cottage at Schofield Barracks. (T. Times 7/6/1942, pg. 2)
