Here are the words on the back of the photo:
GI's select Axis Sally. Pretty Shelly Mitchell, the former vocalist with Cugat, is the girl who is heard but not seen in Ernie Plye's "Story of G.I. Joe." Shelly, 21, was chosen by Producer Lester Cowan and some real GIs to play Axis Sally, Nazi radio propagandist, because of her seductive, bedroom voice. Shelly, born in Richmond, VA, was chosen only after Cowan and the GIs listened to several hundred voices. The GIs who helped pick Shelly are, left to right, Cpl. Chester Nowlen, Pvt. Charles Rozell and Pvt. Fred Ross.
