Object description

A group of American airmen relax with a pint of beer in the sunshine outside the Sir John Barleycorn pub in Cadnam, following a picnic in the New Forest. The airmen are all staying at Stanbridge Earls, near Romsey. In the centre, in a white t-shirt, is Lieutenant Royal Firmin, Jr., the second in command at the home. Also seated outside the pub are two of the American Red Cross hostesses who work at the home, and have joined the men on their picnic. A greyhound dog can just be seen in the background.
