About this photograph
The caption lists service locations and theatres associated with the Second World War, including the Atlantic, Africa, the Pacific, Guadalcanal, and Bougainville. The year 1938 falls between the wars, before the United States entered the conflict in December 1941.
The collection is credited to multiple names, suggesting contributions from several sources. James Buxton and Jack Atkinson appear among the creators, as do Virginia Faulkner Bolton and the Daughters of the American Revolution. Cecil Judson Joiner, identified in the title, is named as both subject and creator.
The record describes Joiner as a sergeant in the Marine Corps. The mismatch between the 1938 date and the war years named in the caption is unresolved by the available information. The collection now resides at the Library of Congress.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
