Description

Sergeant Drayton T. Freeman is home from the Pacific. About seven weeks ago, in the Philippines, Sergeant Freeman developed symptoms of filariasis, the forerunner of the dread elephantiasis, which causes victims' arms and legs to swell. Besides symptoms of filariasis, the sergeant had 101 discharge points. The combination made him a "must" returnee. He is shown standing against a wall, wearing his military uniform.
