This page of the Turner scrapbook lists the names, ranks, hometown, and instruments played of soldiers who are likely in the 161st Field Artillery Band, including Joseph Turner. The names match the portraits of soldiers on earlier scrapbook pages.

Barnes, Leonard Hollingsworth, Ralph R. Dice, Charles Wayman, John Bailey, Jack L. Frost, Paul J. Stovall, Victor H. Steg, Rudolph G. Jungst, Orin V. Page, Ner A. Stinson, Paul O. Steg, Robert C.

This scrapbook documents the wartime experience of Joseph Earl Turner, a jazz musician and golf instructor, who enlisted from Emporia, Kansas, in the US Army on 23 December 1940. Beginning as a private, Turner rose quickly in rank before separating from service on 7 December 1945 as a Technical Sergeant. He served in the 161st and the 195th Field Artillery bands and was stationed at bases in Kansas and California, including at San Luis Obispo and Fort Ord. |
