Featured on a page in the Turner scrapbook, this photo is of soldiers from the 35th Division playing together while at Camp San Luis Obispo, California. The caption notes that the drummer's name is [Theodore S.] Conley and the soldier sitting behind him is Faubian. 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. |
