Summary
Four members of 87th Mountain Infantry sing at a microphone with the call letters KVI. They are left to right: Bradley, Glen Staney, Charles B. McLane, and Ralph Bromigan playing guitar. According to the caption: "At Christmas [1941] Lt. Look sowed the seed that grew into the 87th's G.I. Choir. Our first appearance was a reville Christmas Day. We received some applause, some shoes. Later becoming the Latrine Quartet we sang every evening week after week, Bromaghin, Lt. Look, Stanley and I [Charles B. McLane], later Bradley. A quartet was invited to sing in Tacoma on a local ski program. We yodeled, sang Bavarian ditties, were not at all good, according to severe task-master and maestro, Bromaghin, but we were appreciated and enjoyed our debut."
