Print after a sketch by T. Dart Walker, entitled "Christmas
Eve in the United States Navy". Its original caption reads:
"Giving the famous Highland toast and song for sweethearts
and wives. Wherever Uncle Sam's fighting ships are stationed
throughout the world, it is the custom of the officers to rise,
as here depicted, at the conclusion of the Christmas Eve festivities
in honor of the absent home folks. This sketch was made by the
noted marine artist, T. Dart Walker, while crossing the Arabian
Sea on board the battleship 'Kansas'."
