Topic IndexThe scope of this index, and the heading under which the desired information is listed, may be determined by examining the "List of Headings in the Topic Index" (Section II, below). Note particularly that INDEX HEADINGS ARE ALWAYS IN SOLID CAPITALS, while other key-words are in lower case with a cross-reference to the actual index heading. Distinctly historical information can be located under headings for military campaigns, theaters of war, the armed forces of various nations, and headings that contain the words "Operations" or "Activities." I. How To Use This Index
All data in the topic index are references to manuscripts listed and described in the catalog. Some headings contain numerical as well as alphabetical entries; Roman and Arabic numerals follow the alphabet in that order.
