Additionally, there are several photos of a dance held for the troops with a jazz band whose music stands are adorned with "153" and an emblem. Has an opening section of memory leaves, where fellow troops could drop a line and their home address to stay in touch. Four photos of steamships, including the S.S. Baranof, S.S. Alaska, S.S. Denali, and the S.S. Columbia, captured in Alaska's Inside Passage and at Taku Glacier.
