Scope and content
Members of Tacoma's Washington State Guard unit, including a canine member, prepare for an inspection January 20, 1943 by Capt. Bernhard Groth of the US Army's Ninth Service Command. The four legged member is Bingo Hathaway, technical sergeant, grade II; his promotion to that grade being recently announced by the Captain of F Company. He is detailed as "Morale Sergeant." In the photograph, he stands at attention at the rear rank of his outfit. He can also stand "at ease" and march with the company on command. Owned and trained by Sgt. Jack Hathaway, he has earned his own uniform, adorned with his stripes and the official crest of the WSG. (T. Times 4/22/1943, pg. 1)
