Description

Fort Hood yearbook from his ‘Hell on Wheels’ tank battalion

Original 1958 yearbook from the 2nd Armored Division, 2nd Medium Tank Battalion, 37th Armor, at Fort Hood, Texas, where Presley served as part of Company A. Hardcover yearbook measures 9 x 11.25 and features four images of Presley: his official portrait, a photo of Presley receiving a shot in the dispensary, a photo of Elvis socializing in the barracks, and a photo of Presley out on bivouac. Rippling to inside pages, some light surface loss to inside covers, scattered soiling, edge wear, and dings to cover, weak but attached hinges, and owner’s name written on an opening page, otherwise very good condition. Elvis wished to be seen as an able and ordinary soldier, saying he did not want any preferential treatment, as can be attested to by the photos included in this yearbook. RRAuction COA.
