Photo #: NH 104701
Troops on board ship, circa the last half of 1918
Photographed from the forward superstructure of a U.S. Navy destroyer,
whose port side midships 4"50 gun is at left.
At least some of the troops on board the ship are members of
an African-American unit.
This ship's structure appears identical to that of USS Henry
R. Mallory (ID # 1280).
Note crates of cargo on the main deck, and pattern camouflage.
The original photograph was printed on post card ("AZO")
stock.
Donation of Dr. Mark Kulikowski, 2007.
