Lot-4081-3: WWII-Homefront. An American soldier, returned to the U.S. from one of the United Nations’ battlefronts, weaves a rug on the loom in the recreation room of an Eastern U.S. military hospital. This recreation room is one of many run under the direction of the American Red Cross Recreation Unit operating in military and naval hospitals.
