Papers of a World War I U.S. Army Sanitation Corps officer and later a Columbia University chemistry professor. Correspondence, reports, and military orders and publications from 1917-1919 routinely document food and nutrition standards of army camps in the Northeastern United States with the 26th and 89th Divisions and in France.

Additionally there are materials written and compiled by Thomas' son, Arthur L. Thomas, including a biography of A.W.S.T. and a transcription of a notebook he kept while in the Sanitary Corps and describing his observations on the rations and needs of the troops he visited. Also included are photocopies of the correspondence and military orders of Thomas from 1917-1919 as well as a photocopy of a menu planning guide prepared by Thomas and used in the field kitchens of the AEF.
