Looks like they are just going on or coming off guard duty>. Late Spring 1941,,San Luis Obispo, Calif>. There are three old troopers there in Mt Pleasant, Burt Ruesch, Lynn Poulsen or Dean Staker that have better eyes for faces than I do>. You'll find all three at the "pool hall " keeping their eyes sharp and their hands steady>.
