Context

Photograph published in the 45th Division News, 8 January 1944, Vol. IV, No. 26, Caption "This is probably the most glamorous moment in the history of the 45th mule pack train. The beauty on the beast is Miss Lydia Sherwood, New York City, and the GI is Staff Sgt. Ralph Spillers, Tucson, AZ. That Thunderbird on her sleeve in no gag. When she isn't riding horses on her day off, Miss Sherwood goes about strewing morale and doughnuts from the American Red Cross to division dogfaces."
