Moon Shot: 1910
Forty years ago today, Americans witnessed a man on the moon. Some 60 years before that, a photographer in Pennsylvania witnessed the opposite. "National Guard bath house, Gettysburg, 1910." National Photo Company. View full size.
Those must be elite troops
They really look like members of a "crack" infantry battalion!
Pass me the smelling salts
and get me to the fainting couch. Lovely!
Step right up
I'm interested in the point of view from which this was taken. Either the photographer perched on what appears to be very flimsy outside walls, or he (?) positioned a ladder just so, or the shower station was built right under somebody's window. Any way you "look" at it, the episode seems peculiar--until you remember that it's the military.

What Cheek!
Slipping in yet another gem for the viewing pleasure of Shorpyites of the female persuasion. Thank you, Dave. You've certainly got a lot of cheek today! And how!
Programming
The guy in the tub looks more like he'd have offspring starring on "Hee-Haw" or an opry. Much too goofy to be a Gomer.
Tranquillity Base
I think that's a "moon landing" site in the background -- the company latrine!
Awesome!!
Best Shorpy photo title. Evah! But I gotta wonder. What's Gomer doing in the washtub with all his clothes on?
Cold War
While soldiering in Thailand in the early sixties, my comrades and I showered in similar facilities. I still shiver when I think of those cold showers.
OK Ladies
For all the female Shorpy viewers, no more complaining that you are left out. Now you're spoiled!
Is that Gomer Pyle
in the washtub?
(and Michelangelo's David in the foreground? hubba hubba!)
