About This Item
Great Lakes, Il, 1943. Good.. Panoramic photograph, 8 x 19.75 inches. A handful of heavy vertical creases, irregularly rolled, moderate edge wear, minor soiling. A unique annotated panoramic photograph picturing the segregated Company 1011 of the United States Navy at the U.S. Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, Illinois during World War II. The photograph appears to have belonged to Emerson O. Norton of Paris, Illinois, whose name and address are written in the margin of the verso. The remainder of the verso is comprised of a penciled chart in which about half of the 133 Midshipmen have signed next to the number keyed to their image on the front of the photograph. The soldiers also sometimes include their address or home city next to their name; the soldiers hail from cities all over the country, including California, the Midwest (Michigan and Ohio), Missouri, and all the way down the eastern seaboard from New York to South Carolina, and the Deep South from Alabama to Louisiana. A wonderful source for researching the African-American experience in World War II.
