There is a note on State of New York stationary to McAuliffe from and signed by Governor Nelson A Rockefeller dated 1959; an "Honorary citizen" identification card for General McAuliffe from the city of Bastogne, presented in 1950; a beautiful letter in French from a Belgian family from Bastogne recalling the death of their sister during the siege and noting McAuliffe's kindness and compassion towards them during the siege. Photo of McAuliffe shaking hands with King Bauduin of Belgium. Photo of Admiral Halsey & General Maxwell Taylor. Finally, among the clippings is the card of General of Panzertruppe Hasso von Manteuffel, whose troops opposed McAullife's at Bastogne.
