Serviceman in Khaki Utility Uniform at Base Camp, Kelley Album

A relaxed portrait of a young serviceman in khaki utility dress at a tropical base camp, believed to date from World War II. The two-pocket work shirt and knit fatigue cap were common working attire for personnel stationed away from front-line combat, and the wood-and-canvas hut behind him reflects the semi-permanent construction typical of Pacific theater installations.
