Description
A
snapshot
of a
group
of
five
soldiers
posed
casually
in the
woods
outside
of a
large
tent
next
to a
tree
serving
as a
signpost
.
Two
homemade
signs
reading
"
5th
Ave.
" and "
Church
Street
" are
nailed
into the
tree
as if
marking
that
intersection
.
During
the
1940s
, those
streets
were
known
as the
heart
of the
shopping
district
in
downtown
Nashville
.
It
is
believed
that
all
five
men
in the
photograph
came
from
Nashville
and that
one
of the
men
is
Floyd
Melvin
Hooper
. This
photo
was
taken
early
in
World
War
II
during
training
.
Forms
part
of the
Veterans
History
project
