US Marine Corps

The following military photographs of Jimmie E. Howard, were submitted by USS Howard, 32nd St. San Diego California.  

It is typical of photos of this era, size 8x10, to not really be an 8x10 because of the white border.  We make them a true 8x10 standard without the border. Colorizing them to be of the same sepia tone, makes a uniform appearance when displayed together. It is not easily visible here that lightening them a bit also brought out more details. The differences are not extreme but we thought you would enjoy seeing them.
