- Description:
- Photographic print. Typed newspaper caption from paper label attached to lower portion of print verso, folded over to lower fourth of print recto: "Sergeant Homer Moore of the Signal Corps, who has direct charge of Fort Benning's pigeon loft, has spent 12 years training army birds to carry messages. He states that never before has he had a better loft of birds than the 50 he is working with at present. And they should be good, if the long, written pedigree the Signal Corps files carry for each one means anything. Here Sergeant Moore is seen releasing 'Red,' one of his favorites, who is descended from a winged messenger of the Meuse-Argonne battle field." Stamped on verso of print: "This photograph is not to be used without authority of The Commandant, The Infantry School, Ft. Benning, Ga. If authority is granted, credit line must read: 'Photo by The Reproduction Plant, The Infantry School." Bottom of front (recto) of print inscribed in negative: "4033-3." Verso of print stamped: "Nov 5 1939."
