President Harry S. Truman sits at a desk between two generals, a document in front of him as he signs it. The record gives a date range of 1917 to 1947 and notes that its caption data is unverified, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The print comes from the Ira Clarence Eaker Collection, named for an Army Air Forces officer, which suggests it passed through military hands. Signing ceremonies like this were common in the postwar years, when the armed forces were being reorganized and their leaders worked closely with the White House.
