10th Mountain Division Collection

Tenth Mountain Division troops fill the entire frame, except for a small triangle of water in the upper right corner; troops are returning by ship to the U.S.A. All are in uniform, most wear helmets and some wear life vests. Some are reading, some resting, others look out to sea.
