December 21, 2019 (4 of 4) First time shooting a roll of Cinestill BwXX. The 1.66:1 aspect ratio crop was inspired by VistaVision, as it felt like I was shooting in that format. Was a fun day of shooting. Cool place to explore. Would love to come back here. Next time, with my a7II. #photography #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #forttilden #breezypoint #rockaway #queens #nyc #newyorkcity #cinestill #cinestillbwxx #kodak #eastmanxx #doublex #moviefilm #35mmfilm #50mm #olympus #om10 #olympusom10 #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #filmisalive #ishootfilm (at Fort Tilden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wWUsynCWa/?igshid=fmlt77can4e3

Morning, folks!

Please enjoy the (Thursday) December 9th,1943 edition of Fort Hancock's soldier-run newspaper, the "Sandy Hook Foghorn" which was issued Eighty Years Ago, today! A weekly publication, the paper represents an incredible "snapshot in time" of the day to day life of the Soldiers of Fort Hancock during World War 2.

This amazing historic resource comes from the holdings of the Monmouth County Historical Association in Freehold, NJ, where they are available to the public.

The Foghorn had an entirely enlisted staff, with a small board of officers as advisers. Printed on-site, it told the stories of the Post and our sister site, Fort Tilden, in Breezy Point, across the harbor.

Due to the heavily censored nature of the day - and being on the front lines of the Battle Of The Atlantic - you'll see that specific units and persons are mentioned via nicknames that would be known only to those stationed there, thus providing no useful information to the enemy.

Rounding out the paper are articles on upcoming recreation events, movies, VIPs, and a handful of one-panel cartoons, drawn by military personnel and "syndicated" across the services. Nearly every ship and post had their own newspapers, telling of the daily life at each location, and major stories, photos, and cartoons were used as filler across the board. Please remember that these stories, articles, photos, and cartoons are products of the era, and should be viewed as such - and not responded to in an inflammatory manner when seen through the views of 2023.

Of note, with Americans pouring into the Service by the millions, the military intentionally drew upon each new recruit's professional background as much as possible. This was especially seen in the technical services, aaanndd... the media.

Those troops who had served in civilian journalism as reporters, printers, broadcasters, and photographers often found themselves right back where they came from, now working in the Signal Corps or running post newspapers, such as the Foghorn.

The images are a little fuzzy, but by zooming in, you should be able to read them. Enjoy!
