Soldier Murray Baker astride a powerful motorcycle. 
There is no date. 
<p>
Murray told that he and his cousin were out of work in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 
in 1935 or 1936 when
they decided to join the army. 
After Murray completed his paperwork, the recruiter rejected his cousin because 
the cousin had a dishonorable discharge from the Civilian Conservation Corps. 
Murray first was sent to Fort Lewis in Washington. He was assigned to 
be a mechanic because of his civilian experience. 
Later he was transferred to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he became an 
instructor. 
After the U.S. entered WW II, he was kept at Fort Benning to train the 
many new recruits. 
He was finally shipped overseas in 1944.
