Whereabouts currently unknown. See description for additional information.

The roster (Descriptive Book), Minute Books and flag of Wallace-Reynolds Post #32 were destroyed in a fire that swept through downtown Santa Cruz in April 1894. The roster reportedly contained the names of 190 members of the Post. Records from 1895 to 1935 were stored in the basement of the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Cruz. Following a flood in 1955, efforts were made by the American Legion to salvage the surviving records. Those that were recovered were dried and reportedly sent to the California Veterans Museum in Sacramento for safekeeping. The whereabouts of these records is currently unknown.

An effort to locate the lost Post Charter was launched in June 1936 by the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic. The effort was led by Miss Frances Gayetti of Berkeley (Source: Oakland Tribune, 30 June 1936). The Post banner was given to the American Legion by the last surviving member, Horace Overacker, in November 1929 (Source: Oakland Tribune, 11 Nov. 1929).
