Cover of booklet for the 4th Motorized Division
at Camp Gordon, Augusta, Ga 1942 - Gene's personal copy
The 4th Infantry Division was designated as the 4th Motorized Division
from July 1941 to August 1943

Halftracks of the 22nd Infantry at Camp Gordon

Gene is in the front row center holding up either a card or a cup in his right hand.
The three soldiers wearing the garrison cap have 22nd Infantry insignia on their caps.
Eight soldiers are wearing the Model 1907 winter cap as modified in 1940.
This winter cap appears to have only been worn by the 22nd Infantry during the time
the 4th Infantry Division was designated as the 4th Motorized Division.
Note the Staff Sergeant kneeling in front second from the right has his 4th Division
shoulder sleeve insignia on the left front chest of his Model 1941 field jacket,
instead of on his left shoulder sleeve. This practice of wearing the unit insignia this way
was done by armored formations of the U.S. Army during this era and is probably
a reflection of the status of the 4th Division as a Motorized Division at this time.
