Full title:Miss Ruth Tanaka, a cadet nurse in the Seton Training School for Nurses, holds a tray of medicines in the laboratory of the Glockner Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she is receiving her training. Before enrolling in the nursing school June 29, 1944, she was a student nurse at the Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Miss Tanaka lived in the Manzanar, California, center for 15 months after she was evacuated from her home at Stockton, Calif. Four of her brothers entered the United States army. One of them, Pfc. John Tanaka, was killed in action in southern France January 20, 1945. He was a member of the famous 100th Infantry Battalion and later was transferred to the 442nd Combat Team, composed of approximately 4500 Nisei. Another brother, Floyd, is overseas; two others, Robert and Jun, are receiving military training in this country. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Tanaka, and a sister, Carol, relocated from Manzanar to Denver, where they are now living. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Colorado Springs, Colorado.
