This is an original 1943 color print of mentally wounded World War II soldiers at one of the rehabilitation centers in Coral Gables, Florida. The rehabilitation centers took over the Miami Biltmore, Nautilus and the Gulf Stream Towers hotels in the area to help revive the men of their trauma. Shown are the men exercising together. The caption writes, "Exercise (with friendly pups) encourages sound bodies, which encourage sound minds."
