Description

Photograph, from left to right, of: Jose Miller, David Sparks and Herman Schultz standing in front of the barracks at Camp Murray. A gravel and dirt drive stretches through the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. The men stand in a line at center, in front of the barracks. Jose Miller leans against the left side of the barrack's door frame and faces to the right. He rests a hand on his hip and holds a cigarette in his other hand. David Sparks stands at center with his back against the right side of the barrack's door frame. He looks to the camera and rests his hands in his pockets. Rightmost, Herman Schultz smiles to the camera while holding a cigarette at his side and resting a hand in his pocket. The barracks is constructed of wood slats and canvas. Through the open doorway, a bed is barely visible within the barracks. A second, identical barracks stands in the background at right.
