EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking promotional photograph captures a unique moment in the history of the U.S. Navy during World War II. Taken at the U.S. Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, Illinois, in 1943, the image features an impressive formation of 2200 recruits who have come together to create the shape of a giant anchor. At the front of the formation, with a relaxed posture, is Rear Admiral John Downes, the Commanding Officer of the station. The impressive display of discipline and teamwork by the recruits reflects the spirit of unity and dedication that was essential during this critical period in American history. The U.S. Navy played a vital role in the war effort, and this photograph serves as a testament to the thousands of men and women who answered the call to serve their country at sea. The formation took place on the shores of Lake Michigan, with the American flag proudly flying in the background, symbolizing the unwavering commitment of the U.S. military to protect and defend the nation. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the U.S. Navy during World War II.
