Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of 2 fellow servicemen of H. H. West, Jr.'s posing outside of their quarters while stationed at Fort Mears in Dutch Harbor. The duo poses at center standing on a wood plank that passes in front of the barracks. To the right of the men, another planked walkway extends perpendicularly from it and stretches back towards the barracks. The Quonset hut-style barracks stands off-center to the right, extending out-of-frame. A Dutch door in the center of the building is open at top. Three more servicemen stand behind it and look to the camera. A window sits to the right of the door. On the window's frame, a number plate reads, "24." To the left of the building, a blanket lies atop shrubbery and in the distance, a hillside rises. Text from negative sleeve: 2023. H.H.West Jr films sent down from Dutch Harbor Alaska June 1943. Two views of the Quinset [sic] hut with unidentified soldiers in front, H.H.West Jr quarters, Fort Mears, Dutch Harbor Alaska. One taken in winter and other in spring 1943
