Official U. S. Marins Corps Photos
GUADALCANAL — (Passed by Censor) — Can you picture a
modem laundry in a jungle 7,000 miles from home? Here it is. Only
a few months ago, U. S. fighting men on this South Pacific island had
to knuckle-scrub their clothes in open streams, as shown in the large
photo. Then Uncle Sam rushed out a small-scale laundry-on-trailers,
which provides same sanitary job furnished by laundries at home.
Small photo shows marine private putting clothes in stainless washer
cylinder used today. The mobile unit supplies 10,000 men weekly with
fresh, clean clothes.
