Craig Field, South Korea, Sept. 13, 1958: Cavaliers back Ronald Vierra (14) enters touchdown land and scores six points for his team in a game against Osan AB. The visiting Osan 11 proved no match for the 1st Cavalry team, and the Cavaliers downed the visitors 28-14, in the opening game of the All-Korean Football Conference. The game was part of a full day of activities on the division’s 37th birthday that included dedication of Craig Field. The 1st Cavalry Division was activated as a Regular Army division at Fort Bliss, Texas, Sept. 13, 1921.

Pictured here is a scan of the original 1958 print created by Stars and Stripes Pacific’s photo department to run in the print newspaper. The red marks indicate the crop lines. Only the middle part of the image would appear in the newspaper. As the vast majority of pre-1964 Stars and Stripes Pacific negatives and slides were unwittingly destroyed by poor temporary storage in 1963, the prints developed from the late 1940s through 1963 are the only images left of Stripes’ news photography from those decades — with the exception the negatives of some 190 pre-1964 photo assignment found recently. Stars and Stripes’ archives team is scanning these prints and negatives to ensure their preservation.
