1942 Green Bay Packers

This isn’t exactly a Memorial Day weekend post, per se, but it is a team photo from an era in U.S. history when the numbers of losses in WWII were beginning to mount. Perhaps some who watched these Packers while growing up were already off training to rid this world of tyranny, and would eventually become heroes we honor each Memorial Day. This 1942 Green Bay Packers team photo contains notations about who is who, especially noting coach Curly Lambeau (front row, far left) and star end Don Hutson (#14, front row, right) — who seems to be cracking a joke with T “Baby” Ray (to his right, #44).
