Sampson, Chico and Slew: 1944
March 1944. Washington labor canteen. Band for a St. Patrick's Day dance sponsored by the United Federal Workers of America, Congress of Industrial Organizations. View full size. Medium format safety negative by Joseph Horne.

The band is from the Army's Engineering Replacement Training Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. I would assume that Group 2 refers either to the second class being process by the center or a particular section within the training center.
By the way the guys are drinking Royal Crown Cola. Now what they might have slipped into it is anyone's guess.
[Also, the lion and Latin motto "Fare Fac" are from the Fairfax County crest. - Dave]
