Lee D. Cady's own description of this series is as follows: "These recommendations for awards, in their composite, record the overseas activities of an outstanding general hospital unit made up of civilian soldiery. These copies of recommendations came from the commanding officers files and are true copy. Some comments have been added here and there, sometimes casual, sometimes caustic which reflect the former commanding officer's feelings as he saw and understood things then and since." The file begins with background on arms forces decorations and awards from Legion Magazine, April 1961 and the Veteran's Newsletter, February 1955. A list of the awards received by the members of the unit, 1949-1969 follows. The volume is arranged alphabetically by the person nominated and contains correspondence, photos, clippings, and unit questionnaires concerning awards. Content is similar in arrangement to Files on Personnel, Outstanding Individuals (Series 12, Subseries 1). However, the awards master file chronicles collective success rather than individual triumphs. Documents are bound together in a single volume.
