Shaw Field Army Air Forces Training Center
was named in memory of Lieutenant Ervin D Shaw
who was the first man from Sumpter County, South Carolina,
to be killed in France in World War I while serving
with the 48th Squadron of the R. A. F. (Royal Air Force, British).
This photo is from around 1914.
These are my efforts at his portrait.
