-This photo was among the first to be relayed from the U. S. Army Signal Corps Radiotelephoto station just set up in the Southwest Pacific Area. This new radiotelephoto hookup will give the American public the same day-by-day spot news pictorial record of the war in the Pacific as they have had from the Mediterranean theater. Seven minutes is the time required to send a photograph and its accompanying caption from the Signal Corps Radiotelephoto station in the Southwest Pacific to the receiving station in Washington, D. C. The caption follows:
"Signal Corps Photo-July 25-Bishop John Andrew Gregg, Head of the African Methodist Church in the North Central United States, who is making a visit of Army units in the Southwest Pacific area, fondles the pet Koala bear adopted by PFC Sammy Hurt, Norfolk, Virginia, a member of an American Army Ordnance Unit. With him (right) is Major (Chaplain) John A. DeVeaux of Jacksonville, Florida."
