Photographer: Naval Historical Center
Caption: Mess Attendant Leonard Roy Harmon
Additional Description: - while the artistic rendering of Harmon on this familiar WWII poster is a good likeness, the faux officer-type uniform of a rated officer's steward or cook is incorrect. At the time of his death, Harmon was still a non-rated, mess attendant; and as such, he should have been pictured wearing a regular, enlisted sailor's cover and jumper.
