A photograph of Private William J. Myers. Taken in Biloxi Mississippi, William stands in front of a backdrop that looks like the outside of a ship with American flag bunting and two life preservers. The words "S.S. Biloxi Miss." and "1941 Greetings" are painted on the life preservers. The photo is very light in tone and, according to William's letter that accompanied the photo, (GLC09682.01) "it didn't develop long. It's too light."
