Gelatin silver print of a USMC platoon likely taken during basic training. The USMC established a segregated basic training camp at Camp Lejeune, NC called Montford Point. The photographer's stamp on the back is for Henry Renfrew of Jacksonville, North Carolina, which means this platoon was likely at Montford Point, circa 1943-1943. The marines are wearing their Summer Service uniform, including sabres. Most have rifles at their side. Many of the marines are indentified in pencil on the back. A few are identified in ink on the front.
