Context

Published in the 45th Division News, 11 November 1943, Vol. IV, No 18. Caption "This piece of apparatus is the pride of the G-2, it's most cherished possession. Through maneuvers in the States it served the section well. It made the initial landing in Sicily. But today, no one in G-2 will put it to the use for which it was intended, because it has new sentimental value. When Bob Hope visited and entertained the division in Sicily he brought with him dark-haired singing Frances Langford, idol movies and radio audiences. Miss Langford visited headquarters, and while there she employed the device. Since that great occasion, no other bottom has profaned it. And swear the proud members of the G-2 Section, no other bottom ever shall."
