Private First Class George Lloyd John is home with his mother, Mrs. Leslie C. John, after serving overseas. Private John left the States ten months earlier with the 140th Division. Six of those months were spent in a German prison camp. To put some weight back on him, Mrs. John is baking all of her son's favorite treats - honey oatmeal cookies, nut bread, and old fashioned brown bread. The mother and son are shown at the dinning room table with the baked goods.
Private John is dressed in his military uniform. Mrs. John is wearing a floral dress.
