WWII USO Photograph

USO TOUR SPRING 1945

Frank Sinatra was accompanied by Betty Yeaton (acrobatic dancer), Fay MacKenzie (female singer), Saul Chaplin (pianist) and Phil Silvers (comedian). After a "test" in New Jersey, the tour left in late May via Canada and the Azores to North Africa, from there it went on to Italy, and on July 6, Sinatra was reported to have arrived back home in the US again.

This picture was taken by my uncle Aram Hagopian during WWII. This is an original autographed picture signed by Frank Sinatra, Phil Silvers, Fay McKenzie and Betty Yeaton.
