Full title:Private Richard Chinnen, Japanese-American boxing instructor at Camp Shelby, says a ten round bout was nothing
like this as he arrives at the water sack after a forced march in the humid Mississippi atmosphere. Chinnen was formerly AAU
bantam weight champion of Hawaii. He came to the United States in 1940 and volunteered for duty with the combat team. The
442nd combat team at Camp Shelby is composed entirely of Americans of Japanese descent who volunteered for services in the
armed forces. This unit of approximately 8000 men is undergoing intensive training in all branches of combat duty, and they
are looking forward with eagerness to actual services at the front.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Camp Shelby,
Mississippi.
