Description
The slogan that "the army builds men" may have sounded pretty good to Sydney C Morgan, but he's wondering if they'll build him big enough to fill the uniform handed to him by Frank Lorimer, left. Lorimer, 62, private first class of the 107th medical regiment band explained, "The don't get uniforms to fit the man -- you have to grow into them." Morgan is one of the many new recruits in the Co B 125th infantry as the National Guard was inducted into regular army service at Detroit, Mich.

Photo is dated 1940.
