Boxing was part of the military’s physical training conducted on campus between 1941 and 1945. During the war years, Princeton hosted several military training schools, including the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP, known as A-12), the Army Post Exchange School, the Naval Officer Training School, the Naval College Training Program (V-12) for Navy and Marine officer candidates, and the Navy Pre-Radar School. A Navy photographer took the picture, according to archivists. Can any PAW readers identify these student pugilists?
