Arthur Schuh, a Lieutenant (Junior Grade) in the United States Navy Reserve, captured a candid photograph of several members of the United States Medical Department as they entered a Navy vehicle, possibly an ambulance or supply transport automobile.

During Schuh's service in Portland, he captured photographs of military life during World War II, many of which depict rarely-seen images of Naval activity and locations. Some of these subjects include a captured Italian Submarine, U.S. Navy Headquarters, Frontier Base, H.E.C.P at Fort Williams, Navy Supply Pier, Casco Bay Net Depot, U.S. Navy Fuel Depot, and the U.S. Navy Fleet Signal Station on Great Diamond Island.
