Description

Texas National Guard maneuvers in Louisiana. The soldier in camp finds it fun to get letters, so he has to write a few. Settled down at their correspondence here are Left to right, Private J. P. Morgan (left) and Sergeant Jack Wells, while Private Crayton Gordon looks over their shoulders with some unsolicited suggestions. The three Lubbock youths are members of Service Battery, One Hundred and Thirty-first Field Artillery.
