This candid group portrait captures six American servicemen in herringbone twill fatigue uniforms and M1 steel helmets, informally posed before a hedgerow at a training camp or garrison billet during World War II. Though preserved among negatives from a military band collection, the fatigue dress and field gear suggest these men were photographed off-duty, illustrating the camaraderie and everyday life of soldiers between periods of duty.
