Going through some of my grandpa's WWII photos. He did some of his pre-war training at the Carlisle barracks in Pennsylvania before heading to Camp Polk for maneuvers and then Camp Miles Standish prior to embarkation to North Africa in spring, 1943. 
Caption reads, Bizerte shoreline from LST, December 28, 1943
Not sure the date is correct, because the LST number was incorrect

Grandpa liked to doodle. And carve. And he left his doodles around North Africa...and Italy...and southern France
This, from Italy, and keen eyes can catch the small Kilroy poking over the painted coat rack on the left
His dogs were famous in family lore, especially those with the cocked ear
The cat, well...that's also a bit of a family tradition. As you might suspect.

And there's the artist himself. The doc who would later on go to work for the VA because his private practice failed when white patients in NC blackballed him because he took African-American patients.
I hope that maybe his doodles on walls in WWII brought a smile or two
