Description: This unidentified Staff Sergeant wears the Combat Infantryman Badge, suggesting that he saw action in World War II. The location is probably Camp Stoneman in Pittsberg, California. This photo is part of a series documenting Williams’ shipping out to Korea. The journey that started in Pittsburg, where a ferry would carried troops to San Francisco, continued on the USS General M. C. Meigs for the two-week voyage to Japan and then on to Korea.
