Description

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas I. Ramsey. Man in a khaki uniform with a matching solid tie is seated on a floral upholstered couch with an antimacassar on the back of it. There is a small table behind with doilies under candle holders, a row of books, and a small ceramic kitten with a cactus growing where the tail would be. The uniform has pins on the collar, one a leaf, the other (at an angle) might be wings. There is a wings pin over his left breast pocket. On his left thumb there is a small ring partly covering the nail. In his right hand is a piece of his mother's devil's food cake. Clipping (for context - the parents aren't in this photo): "Worth coming home for, was the hearty verdict Wedensday of T. Col. Thomas I. Ramsey, 29, Marauder bomber squadron commander on 70 combat missions over Europe, as he sampled a devil's food cake his mother had baked. From left, Colonel Ramsey, his mother and father, Rev. J. G. M. Ramsey."
