Clarkson, Inspector General, to Eisenhower regarding the official inquiry into the slapping incident.' Sept.-Nov. 1943 (folder dates) · printed p. 106 of 282 (Box 91 run)
Source: Dwight D. Eisenhower Library (published finding aid)
How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight. This is the library's own description of a folder, not an image of the report.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image. The folder description reads 'to Marshall regarding the facts of the soldier-slapping incident and the corrective actions taken; a number of news releases ...; Gen. Smith to Patton ...; Col. H.S. Clarkson, Inspector General, to Eisenhower regarding the official inquiry into the slapping incident.' It is a catalogue entry for a folder; it does not reproduce or date the report, and the report itself is not digitized online (a research request or visit would be needed). Whether this is our person: Likely, not Confirmed, that 'Col. H.S. Clarkson, Inspector General' is Herbert Slayden Clarkson (1891-1974), who held that inspector-general role and has those initials; the finding aid gives initials only.

Keep in mind: What the page says: household 338, lines 38-40; Herbert S. Clarkson is the informant and head, renting at $145 a month, 49, born Texas, 'Colonel, U.S. Army'; Ruth, wife, 48, housework, born Texas; Herbert K., son, 23, single, in school, born Texas; the 1935 residence column gives Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for the parents and Austin, Texas, for the son (a stated earlier residence, not an enumeration there).

How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight. A locator page: it shows the box number only.
Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed from the page image: '91' stands in the margin beside 'PARKER, KENNETH [president, Parker Pen Co.; ...]'; the page lists other correspondents (Page, Paley, Parkinson, Parks, Patch, Patterson). It does not name Clarkson. IDENTITY: not applicable to a name on this page. Herbert Slayden Clarkson is tagged only because the page fixes the box (Box 91) for the Clarkson inspector-general folder entry on p. 106; the two pages go together.
