An extraordinary and historically significant Isaac George Moore archive documenting the complete journey of a Texas A&M graduate and U.S. Army officer from his earliest school years through military service during World War I, and into his post-war life. This is far more than a collection of documents—it is a carefully preserved, museum-worthy lifetime archive spanning education, military commissions, officer promotions, honorable discharges, professional military training, fraternal membership, and even a surviving piece of WWII occupation currency.
Highlights include an original Agricultural & Mechanical College of Texas (Texas A&M) Bachelor of Science diploma in Textile Engineering (1917), multiple original Presidential U.S. Army Officer Commissions appointing Isaac George Moore as Second Lieutenant and later First Lieutenant in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, official honorable discharge certificates, Field Artillery School certificate from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Public School diploma from Hubbard, Texas, Kindergarten diploma, Arabia Shrine certificate (Houston, 1922), military service documents, and a WWII Allied Military Currency 10 Lire Series 1943 occupation note retained as a wartime souvenir.
Together these documents reconstruct the remarkable career of a Texas A&M officer who answered the nation’s call during the First World War, providing collectors with an exceptional opportunity to own a cohesive archive rather than scattered individual pieces. Complete officer archives of this depth, especially centered around a named Texas A&M graduate with multiple Presidential commissions and original military paperwork, are increasingly difficult to locate and possess outstanding historical, military, genealogical, and museum appeal.
Included:
* Texas A&M Bachelor of Science Diploma (1917)
* Texas A&M Cadet/Officer Commission documents
* Multiple Presidential U.S. Army Officer Commissions
* Officer Reserve Corps appointments
* First Lieutenant promotion documents
* Honorable Discharge certificates

* WWII Allied Military Currency – Italy 10 Lire Series 1943
* Additional original military and personal documents forming one continuous historical archive
An exceptional one-owner historical grouping that would be equally at home in an advanced military collection, Texas A&M archive, museum, or institutional collection.
