Biographical or Historical Note

This image is part of a post card that was sent to Miss Edith Raymond at College of the Pacific, San Jose, Calif. The photo was likely taken at Camp Kearny (also known as Camp Kearney), near San Diego, Calif., home of the U.S. Army's 40th Division (currently the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar). Fatty Arbuckle adopted Company C of the 159th Division in March 1918; Arbuckle's friend Buster Keaton was subsequently drafted into Company C. The photo may have been taken in August, 1918 when Arbuckle and fellow Hollywood friends Al St. John and Lou Anger visited the camp after learning that the 159th had received orders to ship out to France. Keaton may be in photograph, but is unidentified.
