Barracks Room Portrait, No Smoking in Bed Sign, 1950s

The sign on the wall reads NO SMOKING IN BED, which tells you this room has already had at least one incident that ended in scorched wool and a stern lecture. The standing man has arranged himself like he is posing for a recruiting poster nobody asked him to be in, one boot forward, elbow on the wardrobe, chin tilted for a jaw he clearly believes is his best feature.
