+:*personal histories and diaries;
+:*unit histories;
+:*medical and death reports;
+:*documents on activities within guerrilla units and criminal behavior by guerrillas; and
+:*accounts of the effort to liberate the Philippine Islands from Japanese control.

+:A large portion of the records are:
+:*applications for pay and benefits based on military or civilian service,
