Wednesday's Wonderful Collection - Department of Arkansas Auxiliary, United Spanish War Veterans records, MS.000572

The Department of Arkansas Auxiliary, United Spanish War Veterans, honored those who served in the Spanish-American War. Local organizations were called "camps."

The Department of Arkansas Auxiliary was organized in 1929. At one time there were twenty-three auxiliary camps across Arkansas.
