U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team members practicing Hawaiian music and dancing, during their time at Camp Shelby, Mississippi in World War II
Members of the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team (comprising Americans of Japanese ancestry) practice Hawaiian music and dance intended to entertain the troops, during World War 2. Several of the group take turns imitating hula dancers, as the musicians play. Numerous views of the men dancing. Musicians, including one playing guitar and another with ukulele, are seen at the end of the clip. (Note: Under auspices of Mr. Earl Finch, a businessman from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a similar group of 442nd soldiers, coming through Camp Shelby, was formed into the "Shelby Serenaders,"later in the war. Finch also created the “Aloha” USO in Hattiesburg, and did many other things to make life more pleasant for members of the 442nd during their training times at Camp Shelby.)
