It would greatly be appreciated if anyone could help identify where these pictures may have been taken and more importantly who the soldiers are. These were found in my parents personal items among some of my mom's brothers and my father's military possessions. They have all now passed, except one brother but at 97 years of age he is unable to help. If I could at least have some help where these pictures may have been taken I may be able to narrow down some information regarding the photos. All five photos I feel were taking on the same day as they each have the same film development information on the reverse side. THANK YOU Attachments:

When a person first entered the Army and assigned to a unit, he had to go through Basic Training. Until the training began, a new soldier was always kept busy doing anything that held his attention at a job. Often, a recruit called his officers "slave drivers".
The two Soldiers here, I believe, are illustrating here, as a joke, a "work detail" in the Army. Idle men in the Army could soon stir up trouble and Officers knew how to keep them busy.

All I can offer, is that the photo probably is not at Camp Atterbury. That camp only had the tar paper covered buildings in a section of the Wakeman Hospital. All other buildings were clad in hard siding.
