Description1 photographic print: b&w; 3-1/2x6" snapshot photo of stacks of baggage along sidewalk in front of 2 story buildings with store fronts. Baggage included suitcases, bedding, duffel bags, stacked about 4 feet high waiting to be loaded. One M.P. standing in street in front of line of baggage and some individuals waiting. Baggage appears to be more than what could be carried by an evacuee. The building in background has a sign "HOTEL" with windows on 2nd floor.

Caption on back: "The morning of evacuation. 8th at Central, Evacuees baggage. SAAC bound."
