Phelan, Sidney Towner (1896-1964).
Papers, 1899-1960. 2 boxes; 1 oversize folder
Collection consists primarily of letters written by Mr. Phelan, and signed “Towner,” to his
mother, Mary Towner Phelan, while serving as an ambulance driver during World War I. There
are a few letters written to or by other people as well as a large photo album. As might be
expected the letters do not contain a great deal of the harsher details of his service but the photo
album contains several graphic reminders of the horrors of combat during World War I.
