description John Eubank Copeland, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, served in the U.S. Army for thirty years. After participating in both the Mexican Expedition and World War I, he was stationed at several bases around the U.S. and in Puerto Rico and the Philippines. During World War II, Copeland commanded Fort Ray in Alaska and oversaw the construction of the Shemya Army Airfield. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 1942, and the following year he was named assistant commander of the 65th Infantry Division, a position he held until the war ended. Copeland retired from the Army in 1946 and spent the rest of his life in Los Angeles, California. Though the main focus of this scrapbook is Copeland's military career, it also features images and correspondence from his personal life during and after World War II. Notable subjects include his wife, Charlotte, and her brothers' family: Bill and Louise Fox with their daughter Virginia (Ginger).
