Caption on back of photo reads, "If I look tired - I am or was. It was one of those lucky days when we [marched] and before dawn, had a nice field run all day - and marched back in for several miles. Suppose to have on a regular field pack - sorta heavy - but you can't [see] it. Will let Bob use my 'knapsack' for baby - 'what you ma call it'" From photo album of Robert Billigmeier.
