The caption reads "First Photos of Devil Dogs in Training: Marine Devil Dogs learn the art of war at a canine training camp at Camp Lejeune, New River, North Carolina. These dogs are being specially trained to accompany Marines in landing operations, sentry duty, message and first aid supply delivery, and locating our wounded Marines in the field. Fierce as these dogs may be in combat, they are gentle and affectionate animals when with friends. Witness 'Herta' with Carole Rittenhouse Brick, the 4 year old daughter of Captain Samuel J. Brick"
