Description

Photograph of H. H. West, Jr. wearing his field clothing and posing outside of his quarters while stationed at Fort Mears in Dutch Harbor. A wood plank walkway extends from the left and towards H. H. West, Jr. in the near distance at center. He wears rubber boots, a jumpsuit and hat as he looks to the camera and places his hands in his pockets. The walkway extends back behind him and towards the door of the barracks. The Quonset hut-style barracks stands off-center to the right and is viewed from the front. A Dutch door in the center of the building stands partially open and is flanked by a window on either side. A number plate on the right window's frame reads, "24."
