That G.1. Haircut At PX Barber Shop
A wartime barber scene unfolds in a PX shop as Private Pat gets a trim. The barber jokes about bombing, unity in command, and the Russian front while clipping hair and resisting a second front talk. Private asks to see the back, barber claims it looks fine and reveals he recently switched from plumbing to barbering due to material shortages. Sdt. Brooks Ashrey, AIR FORCE SPENCE Field, Ga.
