String tied photo album binding of cream leatherette covers with illustration of airplane to front cover, 16 x 12", containing 263 black and white photographs, as well as several ephemeral items. Most images cornered in, with 21 loose images present as well. Numerous souvenir postcards and pictorial postcards are present as well. 104 of the images (including the first 91 photos in the album) are accompanied by captions in white ink on the album leaves, and an additional 15 images are captioned in the negative; the rest of the photos are uncaptioned. A photograph album compiled by Lieutenant Dorothy Jones of Birmingham, Alabama, documenting her time with the Army Nurse Corps, mainly while stationed at several bases in California. The album begins with photos taken at Moffitt Field, in Santa Clara County, followed by photos taken at Chico Army Airfield and at Merced Army Air Field. These include images of nurses and soldiers posing around the base, or on social outings. There are also photos of nurses in the break room, lazing in a rubber boat, or visiting Yosemite National Park. One series of images shows the interior of the hospital at Chico Army Airfield, including the sterilizing room, the diet kitchen, the utility room, the surgery, and the nurses lounge. Another series of images are captioned in the negative, and show the interior of a base hospital in 1945. The second half of the album is uncaptioned, and contains many images of a ski trip taken by nurses and soldiers, concluding with around 30 photos taken in the Azores, where Jones was presumably stationed later in the war. Several ephemeral items laid in, including a sketch of a nurse tending to a patient inscribed "To Nurse Uceman--Ward D's Sunshine," a 17 page mimeographed handbook titled "Information for Chief Nurses," welcome leaflets from Santa Maria Terminal Building and Harmon Field, greeting cards, and newspaper clippings. Album covers detached, with tape present from attempted repair, damp staining to covers, occasional soiling to contents, slight musty odor present, several pages of photos missing.
