WWII 154.B2.F7.2

Snapshot of a U.S. Army soldier named Clint from Morganton, N.C., with a wooden clothespin in his mouth, hanging his boxer shorts on the clothes line in-between the barrack buildings outside at Camp Gordon, Georgia, in September 1942 during World War II. Jacqueline E. Taylor of Morganton, N.C., knew him, and collected this photograph while in her home town or while she was working as a hostess with the Charlotte Defense Recreation Committee in Charlotte, N.C. Taylor wrote on the front of the image “Clint and His Drawers,” and drew marks in a circle around his boxers on the clothes line (September 1942).

 

From Jacqueline E. Taylor Papers, WWII 154, World War II Papers, Military Collection, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh, N.C.
