Scope and content
A happy group of soldiers wave to the photographer as he captures a close-up of members of the "Can Do" 15th Army Infantry regiment returning to Fort Lewis from China. The soldiers pose on the deck of the US Grant transport ship, which whisked them away from China as bombing increased by Japan. Their departure ended 26 years of continuous service in China by the regiment, during which they assisted the Chinese through flood and famines. (T.Times, 3/24/1938, p.1).
