Watt, commander of the Harbor Defenses, Portsmouth, N.H. Ilene, who is 18, won her commission for distinguished service above and beyond the call of duty, she was the only gal in the post’s all-soldier musical show, ‘Keep Mum, Chum’.” Ilene, a native of Portsmouth, later became famous as the voice of the title character in Walt Disney’s 1950 animated movie Cinderella. Disney and other sources list her date of birth as May 5, 1929, in which case she would have been 14 when this photo was taken on November 24, 1943.Acme Newspictures.

George W. Ruhlen, jr., was probably the most prolific photographer in the Coast Artillery Corps, and he left a collection of photos of coast artillery posts he served at during his long career. Here, he apparently arranged for someone else to take his picture as he observed the target practice of the 261st Coast Artillery Bn, at Fort Miles, DE, in 1941, using an M1910 azimuth instrument. All four cover photos in this issue are from Colonel Ruhlen’s collection at the Casemate Museum, Fort Monroe, VA.
