Harry Downing Temple attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute as a member of the Corps of Cadets from 1930 to 1934, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering. Colonel Temple was a veteran of the United States Army and Civilian Conversation Corps. During the Second World War, he served in the Corps of Engineers. He took part in the Normandy Invasion. He also served during the Korean War. As Commanding Officer of The Institute of Heraldry, he designed coats of arms, seals, and banners for thirty-two Episcopal cathedrals and personally designed the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He served as a professional officer of the U.S. Army and participated in World War II and the Korean War, rising to the rank of Colonel. From 1961 to 1966 he headed the Army's Institute of Heraldry, and designed the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He retired from the Army in 1966. Temple began his research for a book about the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets in the mid- 1970s, and retired to Blacksburg, Virginia, in 1988 to be closer to the archival materials necessary for his research. Dick Vranian died before the last four paintings in the series were completed. Consequently they were completed by other artists.
