Original 1947 AP wire photo showing military officers examining improvised clubs used by rioting prisoners at the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Colonel Graeme C. Parks, Brigadier General Harry L. Twaddle, and Sergeant Charles L. Jones inspect a heavy wooden coat hanger and other makeshift weapons after the riot was quelled. The caption is separate from the photograph, and an AP stamp appears on the back. Measures approximately 7⅜" × 6¼". Tape remains on the corners with expected age-related wear. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
