Harry Blackwell, Kenneth "Ted" Keatinge, J.C. Vollrath and Erwin "Pat" Fiero beside Arthur Howe Jr.'s AFS staff car

1943

Although the verso of this photograph indicates the date as being "November 1943", Arthur Howe, Jr. was already in Italy by that time. It's possible a friend sent Arthur Howe, Jr. the photograph from North Africa, though it's also possible the month was written incorrectly. J.C. Vollrath was the president of The Vollrath Company, a company based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, that manufactured stainless steel and aluminum small wares and equipment, and deep draw stainless steel. During World War II, Vollrath had a military contract with the U.S. Army and Navy for the production of materials needed in their war effort.

Also available as high-resolution TIFF and JPEG files. Original: 2 1/2"x3 1/2" Photograph.
